Only 1% of children with disabilities have access to school and one third of most disabilities are preventable (WHO,2011).

One of the major issues emerging in Indian education is increased school dropout rates and low levels of student learning. We work with children who lack the support they need to do well in school. Our program focuses on building happier classrooms that fosters holistic development of preschool and primary children. The key features of our education programs are individualised attention to each child, increased experiential learning opportunities, intensive teacher training, coaching and mentoring support, stakeholder involvement, and community engagement.

It is estimated that over 2 million children are trafficked into sexual slavery every year. India is the source, transit and destination of trafficking with extensive intra-country trafficking.

We work in urban communities of Maharashtra & Delhi with high prevalence of violence against women. We work with vulnerable young women from these communities and enable them with opportunities in education, employability skills and enterprise development support. We aim towards reducing their vulnerability to violence and help them in breaking the cycle of poverty.
