IF YOU CAN AFFORD; ADOPT A SLUM CHILD’S PRIMARY EDUCATION & YOU SEE NO SINGLE SLUM CHILD FOR NEXT GENERATION!

Urban Slum Children -- Help their Education

There is a common misconception that children up to 10th class get free education, but, it is not happening in urban areas since there are not enough government schools. So, the children living in slums are ending up going to private schools. When parents cannot afford it anymore, they are dropping out of schools. It is happening more with girl children.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD; ADOPT A SLUM CHILD’S EDUCATION & YOU SEE NO SINGLE SLUM CHILD FOR NEXT GENERATION!

Svechha teamed up with an NGO called WIN (Women in Network) to work with slum children. They adopt slums which are referred to as WINGS. WIN volunteers, called winners, 2 to 3 of them go to their WING every Sunday morning, teach them songs, rhymes, drawing, educate them about social issues like population control, importance of clean habits etc. Towards the end, healthy food like milk and eggs will be distributed to them. They talk to each child, understand their financial and social problems, counsel them in the process. They have discovered in that process that many children who are intelligent and interested in education could not go to school because they cannot afford.

So, they have hand picked almost 30 of them, 3-4 from each WING, who are good at studies and have a greater interest to continue. We request your help in sponsoring education for these children. It costs approximately Rs.5000/- per year. When you take up one child, we need your commitment for their study expenses until 10th class. The child’s progress will be intimated to you every quarter. You can meet the child you are sponsoring any Sunday. All these slums are in Banjara Hills & Jubilee Hills area.

If you with a team of your friends would like to adopt a slum in this model, we will help you in the initial process until it gets streamlined. It is little tough because of the time commitment that is needed on every Sunday morning.

Please pass it on to your friends and family. If interested in adopting a child, please email us at info@svechha.org or you can call Rakesh at 099891-85156 or Sridevi at 099898-79000 to know more details about the child’s family back ground & other information.
