History
This powerful grassroots initiative began in the heart of Jaipur’s slum communities with a simple mission: to break the cycle of poverty and provide opportunities for children who have none.
Through years of trust-building with families and community leaders, this local project has become a sanctuary for slum, street, and orphaned children, offering more than just education—it provides stability, emotional support, and purpose.
The first classroom opened right inside the slum, and from there, it has blossomed into a full-scale program delivering moral education, fun, social engagement, and community development. The project continues to grow thanks to dedicated local staff and volunteers.
Mission & Vision
The mission is clear: to improve the lives of underprivileged children and empower families by placing education at the centre of long-term, generational change.
The vision is a future where every child—regardless of background—has the opportunity to become a responsible, contributing member of society. Beyond academics, the program also focuses on personal development, hygiene, health education, and social values.
Their goal is not only to prepare children for school but also to prepare them for life. Every volunteer who joins this initiative becomes a part of a larger movement to protect vulnerable youth from exploitation and help them reach their full potential.
