The focus on Literacy and education has grown over the years. Children attend the Day Centre initially out of curiousity. A day of activities includes encouraging and interest in literacy.

Non Fornal:

If the child continues to attend the day center, unique non-formal educational methods are used to teach them eye-hand control, pattern drawing, and numeracy. Finally our social workers liaise with local
schools when the child is ready.

Formal:

Local schooling begins with access to Municipal schools. While offering a low standard of education, they make allowances for non attendance and the initial problems that the move from the street to formal school entails. If the child is able to sustain her educational development, we arrange admission to Private schools. Those children who have been enrolled in formal schools by us are given additional tutoring by our volunteers.
