Education & Nutrition Program

Four times a week we deliver an informal education program, coupled with a nutritious meal, to children living in six different slum communities within Kolkata.

Many children living in these communities are not accessing formal education for a variety of reasons. We know that education is a right for all and we endeavour to bridge the gap that would prevent children the opportunity to learn. Many times Parents are unable to provide home work support due to the fact that they are working, or themselves are limited in their education. Through our Education Programs we are supporting children who are attending school by helping them to thrive in their studies and to enhance what they are learning in the classroom. In addition to this, our dedicated team of four, deliver the program focused on providing support to children currently not attending school to enable them to learn the basics of both English and Bengali and also work with their families to see them access formal schooling.

We know even basic reading and writing skills are needed to secure quality employment in the future and no education is ever lost as an investment for a child’s future.

In addition to this education support, the children also receive a nutritious meal as part of the program, thus further strenghthening them and their family.
