Shiksha Na Ruke
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
Access to education has always been a challenge for under-privileged children. However, due to the pandemic, as livelihoods were affected and many families were further pushed into poverty, lesser-privileged children suffered the most.
Schools were closed, education shifted online and economic vulnerability forced many children to compromise on their education and drop out of school to engage in menial labour.
The impact of the pandemic has been deep and long lasting. While privileged children could go back to school, under-privileged children have been struggling to get their lives back to normal. Coping with the expenses of the new online mode of learning has also posed as a challenge for many.
Therefore, to ensure education for all, our campaign ‘Shiksha Na Ruke’ aims not only at bringing drop out children back to school but also in enabling uninterrupted learning for children through access to resources needed for their education.
MISSION EDUCATION
Each member of the Meghwal Vankar Foundation Trust is committed to enriching the quality of life for children residing in slums and rural areas. This commitment manifests itself in many ways – providing academic support with daily homework, ensuring proper healthcare and medical attention, providing meaningful and creative extra-curricular activities for the children, or fundraising for key essentials like food, clothing and shelter.
Our programmes are envisioned and executed by our volunteers – individuals from different walks of life, with varied skills sets who come together to enhance the experience of childhood for the children.
