Education

An educated person almost always serves as the strong backbone of a country’s economy. The empowerment of a person through education helps to push an entire stratum of their community in many ways. And, in effect, helps the nation by providing a strong backbone for its overall development. Many children quit their education for want of basic things; lack of resources, inability to pay school fees, even a simple geometry box. With this thought in mind, Saakshar has employed a comprehensive program to help underprivileged kids by lending them a helping hand in their journey for achievement.

Sakshar is currently

  • Successfully operating a pre-school in Mumbai suburbs
  • Organizing and providing training to orphans and SRS kids in Art & Crafts, Phonetics, Hobby developing, Tuitions and many more.
  • Raising funds to sponsor a child (orphaned or single parent child) for their education.
  • Successfully procured ‘work from home’ jobs for women. For instance – making sweets during festivals, tiffin services, saree work, making garlands etc.).
  • We also provide vocational training for Montessori teachers, applying mehendi, tailoring, beautician courses, to name a few, with the intent of providing work to the people so that they can earn a daily livelihood.
  • Supporting children with their education – providing them with books and stationery.

Books and Toys Library drive

Books and toys are the two things which nurture the younger generation in the world. They provide a safe and imaginative place to escape and help build intelligence, creativity and resilience. Our focus is on opening libraries which are not only accessible to the underprivileged but to all the children and young adults who wish to use them. Currently we have two operational libraries in the Mumbai Suburbs reaching out to 1500+ youth and 1500+ children. We have collected more than a 1000 books in our drives.

We provide support to open libraries in NGOs/Communities. Our work includes collecting the books/toys and handing it over to the concerned person who operates the library. Saakshar wants to ensure benefits to our future generations and extend support to build a stable nation.
