underprivileged

Vacha foundation with centres in many slums across Mumbai and Gujarat is helping young girls speak up against patriarchy in a very strong and inspiring way.

As a part of an empowering initiative in Vellore, a group of girls from underprivileged backgrounds, some of whom are orphans, started their own crowdfunding pages to raise money for college education.

A Gurgaon-based NGO is helping children of slum-dwellers, who are first generation readers and learners in their families, receive free education and training in basic life skills and personal hygiene.

Gauri and Ajit Joshi have started the Kalam express, a mobile bus-cum-school that brings quality education to the doorsteps of underprivileged children in Chandigarh.

This inspiring young girl was orphaned when she was four months old. Today, she empowers underprivileged children through education.

A 7-year-old girl was found begging in Dehradun in 2011. She had only one arm and leg, and was the sole breadwinner in her family. Today, she has a prosthetic leg, is a brilliant student of Class 5, and writes beautiful songs. All thanks to one Dehradun-based organisation.

These children made the cut after doing well in a series of preliminary football matches.

An education is empowerment. An education gives a student the world, hidden within the pages of a book or the words of a teacher. An education to a child is what a cocoon is to a caterpillar: an opportunity to grow wings and enter the world as a beautiful mind. (Based) Ashwini Charitable Trust supports underprivileged children in their quest for just such an education.

Two high school boys undertake an initiative to provide hundreds of underprivileged school kids with notebooks and stationery. Here's what happens.

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.
