Slum kids

Ed-tech entrepreneur Bhunesh Sharma from Jaipur runs the Smile For All Society (SFA) NGO, which aims to help slum children access free education through a unique subscription model, much like platforms like Netflix and Hotstar

To prevent dropouts, Dharamveer Jakhar has allocated a van that provides free pick-up service. So even kids living far away have started attending the 'Apni Pathshala'.

Sharad and Savita Tewari have dedicated their time to teach slum kids. They wish to see the kids become lawyers, engineers, pilots, soldiers, journalists and so on one day and serve the country, just like their son did.

"We found vagrant kids working in fishing factories, scrap yards, chai shops, shoe polish stalls and even as domestic help or ragpickers. We brought them together and sat them in a class."

This Mumbai-based girl has a heart so big that it feels the pain of others acutely. Through her art and craft exhibitions, Kshirja has raised around Rs. 85,000 to fund various causes

Today, Sakshi is a social entrepreneur and co-founder of Bucket List, a city-based NGO that has impacted the lives of more than 2000 kids in the last three years.

The daughter of a labourer mother and an unemployed father, 13-year-old Roshni lives in a Noida slum but attends one of the city’s best private schools. All thanks to an awesome project that is giving underprivileged kids an education they might otherwise miss!

Naman Munot has successfully educated over 500 children in slums and underneath flyovers in South Delhi, to protect themselves from asthma, bronchitis or lung damage due to the degrading air quality by gifting them all free air pollution masks.

The work of the volunteers begins right from identifying a runaway on the railway platform to safely handing them over to parents.

Most underprivileged children are unable to find solace in their childhood. The difficulties they face, financially and emotionally, are so persistent that they barely have time or mental space to enjoy basic recreational moments, such as reading or playing with toys. One NGO is fighting to give them back their rightful childhood.
