This learning centre in Shanti Colony is a centre with two classrooms for juniors and seniors led by our two teachers Soniya and Monica. The centre is open for three hours, six days a week after 2:00 pm when the children come back from the government school.

At the centres, we focus on strengthening the academic foundation of children. We teach children Hindi, English and Mathematics according to their academic levels and help them to do better in their grades, thus preventing them from dropping out of school.

Reading is an integral part of everyday activities and is compulsory for every student.

CENTRE NUTRITION

Nutrition has always been a concern for children of the slums; many of them are malnourished. Towards this, we provide a healthy ready to eat snack every day at the centres, including fresh fruits, egg and milk.

THE COMMUNITY
