Project Report | Oct 23, 2025
Rishi longed to learn. You helped him begin.

By Sarah Evans | Supporter Engagement Officer

Meet Rishi*.

Ten-year-old Rishi longed to go to school.

But after the death of his father, his family had to rely on the small income his mother could earn. With no money to spare for his education, Rishi – like many children in his community, was shut out of the classroom.

Finding Support

Thanks to Railway Children India’s activity centre in the slum community where Rishi lived, and support from the team to encourage his interest in learning and help him enrol in school, Rishi’s dream of education is now a reality.

He and other children who were once locked out of education can learn, explore, discover and grow in a safe, nurturing space.

A Brighter Future

Rishi is now one of the most enthusiastic and curious learners at the centre. He dreams of becoming a doctor – proof that, with the right support, anything is possible.

Your support helped Rishi take those first steps toward a brighter future. A future no longer defined by loss, but by possibility. Thank you for helping children like Rishi reclaim their right to education and imagine all they can become.
