This Mission Education project imparts quality education and life skills to underserved children from slums in and around South West Delhi, with special focus on girl children. Along with academics, emphasis is also laid on skill-based learning for the children.
The residential colonies in South West Delhi employ more than 10,000 domestic helpers, maids and drivers, who are immigrant workers living in the slums of Kishangarh, Bhawani Kunj, Shanti Kunj, Andheria Mod, Rangpuri Pahadi and Chhattarpur. As these people do not have residential proofs or birth certificates of their children, they face difficulty in sending their children to conventional schools. The centre aims at bridging this gap by providing education to these underprivileged children and mainstreaming them into the formal education system.
Activities and excursions are an integral part of the learning process at the centre. Events like Diwali Fete, Book Fair, picnics, dance, drama and poem recitation are organised to foster the all round development of the children. Health check-ups and counselling of parents and children on hygiene issues are done on a regular basis.
Smile Foundation has partnered with Nai Disha Educational and Cultural Society for this project.
