Don’t they have the right to get an education and live with dignity?
Is it a crime to be born on the streets and into a poor family? Although the issue of street children has a long history, it has not received the attention it deserves. Education is a dream for these children who don’t even know if they’ll survive tomorrow or what their future holds.
Education is a battle against poverty that everyone should fight, but for the underprivileged children in India, education is perceived as a high-priced luxury. Since we believe that education can help children overcome poverty, we initiated Our Gully School to provide primary and secondary education to street and homeless children. They are majorly engaged in things like begging, waste picking, trolley pulling, selling intoxicants like cigarettes and tobacco etc.
The children in Gully school are mostly those who have never attended school before, so we make sure to teach them in a playful manner to make them eager to attend school regularly. Our team makes sure that children are also enjoying learning new things by conducting various fun activities such as drawing, dancing, sports, and so on along with education.
