India is a largely populated country with diverse people living. The highest crowd of people, i.e. 6.5 crore population of India lives in slums. A slum is a residential area with substandard housing that is poorly serviced and/or overcrowded, and therefore unhealthy, unsafe, and socially undesirable, which makes the target area of building up as the nations strength. Education is the strong weapon to be used for making the nation strong and progress towards development. As the maximum population resides in the slums, educating them becomes the responsibility as the youth. 

 

The overall goal in education aims at supporting all children to realise their right to access to quality education. To achieve this,our organisation supports projects in basic education with considerable emphasis on the delivery of out-puts targeting needy communities and disadvantaged girls and boys. In previous years this has been done largely through the construction of classrooms in schools and supporting vulnerable sponsored children with basic school needs such as books and uniforms. This has not been linked to educational outcomes.

Statement of the Problem and Justification

Over 30% of the country’s  entire population, people residing in slums occupy. The major challenges of the slum dwellers include high levels of unemployment, low quality housing, lack of health care, hunger, domestic violence and drug abuse lack of and / or poor educational facilities. Our organisation the support of both organizations; individuals to confront the obstacles of poverty, disease, social alienation of children to empower them realize their dreams as productive and healthy citizens.
