Right to Education should be a reality for every child and needs to be translated into action and we can bring a visible change through involvement of the people who deserve it most Mission Statement
Right to Education should be a reality for every child and needs to be translated into action and we can bring a visible change through involvement of the people who deserve it most, those who belong
to the tertiary sector of life and livelihood as compared to the mainstream of civilization. Hence, through this mission, we must ensure participation and direct involvement of the whole community and to leverage the existing facilities, resources and established system in our work area. We want to educate and enable the street children to make them self-dependent and capable of standing in the society having an identity of their own. This is the most vulnerable group of society – children deprived of education, healthy meals and childhood – the street children, the slum children, the rag pickers. The schools have been very successful academically and are liked a lot by the community. Consequently, the learning groups consist of children at various levels of learning rather than homogeneous classes. Teacher-child relationship is democratic and of mutual caring. Teachers have a very good rapport with the community and community has accepted as well as become quite fond of the new system of education used in these schools. This “Pahal” project is being run under Bal Sambal. Bal Sambal organization is running this initiative to educate and mentor the kids of Jaipur’s slum areas. These children have families but not enough means to get a proper education. Without any guidance, they tend to ignore education and start working in early ages of their lives to support the family financially. This is a vicious circle that can only be broken by educating these children and mentoring them to strive to be better. Currently we are running 3 centers and plan for 10 more.
