Child Empowerment

Yuvaneshwari Kanagasabapathy and Ramana Madhavi Sankara founded Chotuu Ki Education (CKE) in Hyderabad to give street children a second chance through flexible and holistic learning. Their organisation helps marginalised kids build confidence, skills, and hope for a brighter future beyond begging and dropping out.

Indian Forest Service officer Anand Reddy’s viral twitter thread shares how positive reinforcement has encouraged children to give up slingshots and protect birds in Nashik.

Overcoming the lack of education in slum children requires an innovative approach. The non-formal classroom can become attractive for these kids with green open spaces, practical timings, and something thrown in for the mothers and the community.
