We believe education is the key to giving children a chance to make a success of their lives—transforming futures for them and generations to come.
To break the cycle of generational poverty and improve satisfaction in life through formal and informal education.
We believe that education is the key to giving children a chance to make a success of their lives, breaking the cycle of poverty for them and for future generations.
We work with some of the most disadvantaged families—migrants from other states in India who make a living collecting rags or working as daily labourers.
Our mission is not only to provide formal education. We believe in a holistic approach to caring for our children—providing nutritional, health and hygiene support, individual and family counselling, and valuing the importance of play, creative art, sport, dance, and simply having fun in a safe environment.
See the smiling faces of the children and families we serve every day.
We address the whole child through comprehensive programs that ensure every aspect of their development is nurtured.
We teach our children to respect one another and their communities. Our aim is to keep them safe from violence and bullying, accidental injury, crime and anti-social behaviour.
Encouraging our children to be physically, emotionally and mentally healthy through diet, fitness, counselling and wellbeing. Giving them guidance to speak about any health issues.
We support our children to have good school attendance and participate in all aspects of the school curriculum to enhance their personal and social development.
By supporting our children through State schooling and extra-curricular activities, we aim for our children to have meaningful employment and be able to support their families.
We encourage our children to respect their local communities, customs and traditions. We help them be confident and kind, developing positive attitudes towards others.
We provide pre-school age children with day care that supports them into State education at the appropriate age, so they are not at a disadvantage to their peers.
Although State education in India is compulsory, it is not enforced—especially for the children of migrant workers. To attend school, a child must have a birth certificate and pay for their own books and uniforms.
