Chinna Badi

Chinnabadi is located in Chinnappeta. 7 km west of Chennekothapalli. This used to be a regular day school till the local government school began to perform well and the Collective encouraged the children to go there. It has now been converted into an evening learning centre and children from the whole village come here after school hours and use this space as a play space, a library and study center. One of the teachers of Prakruthi Badi, who stays here, coordinates the activities. Children do not have academic classes like in the other learning centres - but they get a lot of guidance in their studies. They have their own space for games, studies, singing, dancing, dramas in their village and it makes it a very special center. 30 children use it on a regular basis while the others come and go as per their needs.

When the centre was started way back in 1994, the land was contributed by the one of the villagers and the cost of construction of the building was shared by the Collective (60%) and the people of the village (40%).

This work has been supported over the years by Action Aid - UK, MISEREOR - Germany through NEG - New Delhi, TDH - Germany and ASHA - USA.
