Local slums are home to families that live on less than $1.50/day and can't send their children to school; high drop-out rates, poor primary school education and expensive tertiary education. The few people who do finish and become skilled often leave the country for better employment essentially worsening the economy of India. With 35% of the population illiterate the need for intervention is highlighted.
Our mission is to empower the members of the community to create their own future through increased access to employment opportunities as well as motivate the children who are in school to continue.
In the long-term, we aim to increase the number of children from the poorer areas who have access to quality education, lower drop-out rates and increase literacy in the areas. Our mission is to utilise funds to benefit these children's lives through scholarships and resources, eventually increasing employment opportunities and improving India's economy.
