B) PROJECT NARRATIVE:

1. 
   Context:
   

Describe the region and community where the project will be implemented. (Maximum 150 words)

Nukus is the capital city of the autonomous Republic of Karakalpakstan. As there is no sufficient educational and cultural support by the government, these fields, which are the basic factors of the progress of any country, cannot experience any development yet.

What is the primary issue (problem) this project is seeking to address? (Maximum 150 words)

As I am usually in the public as a social leader, I often notice that most of girls and women are illiterate as they are not provided with educational opportunities by their parents or guardians. Instead, they have a conception that females should stay home from their younger age and learn housekeeping and cooking in order to be ready to marry and to bring up children. Due to depreciation of their human rights, there are so many problems and divorces in family relationships. Females are not allowed to acquire world knowledge, to look at male face, to be among males or to talk to them according to wrong perception of our religion. It means they cannot socialize and develop by learning what they want. And what I want to do is to attract them to have their own interests and to improve by themselves.
