Rural Institute for Development Education (RIDE) Details
Mission Statement: RIDE is a secular, non-governmental organization dedicated to empowering poor and disadvantaged residents of rural Tamil Nadu to improve the quality of their lives. About RIDE:RIDE was established in 1984 by a group of graduates from Madras University, to implement education and other programmes that would assist in the socio-economic and cultural development in the district of Kanchipuram, with particular emphasis on issues impacting women and children. RIDE's goal is to help people help themselves to improve the quality of their lives. Since RIDE began its work in 1984, the organization's approach has revolved around a central concept of self-help - that people cannot be developed but that they can develop themselves. RIDE's activities include programs for children, women and for the general rural poor population.With the goal of breaking the cycle of child labor, RIDE's innovative and integrated program works within the families to instill an education ethic, transfer the children into schools and cultivate their own self-sufficiency. Bridge School Centers provide an education, social and emotional transition from the silk looms to the government schools. In exchange for releasing their children from the looms, parents are eligible to participate in RIDE's Rural Entrepreneurship Development Programme (REDP) to learn how to start their own businesses. Upon graduation from REDP, RIDE oragnizes these parents into Self Help Groups.
