Being there for communities
In a photo essay, we share the work of three organizations from across the country who are intensively working with communities to cater to the educational needs of children who need the most amount of support.
Shiksharth Trust
The Shiksharth team believes that the community needs to be at the forefront of children’s learning journeys. The organization often conducts home visits to apprise parents of the happenings in school. The team has onboarded 35 youth volunteers from the community as well, to support single-teacher schools.
Ayang Trust
Ayang Trust collaborates with local communities to set up community libraries where children can uncover the joy of learning through stories, games, and fun activities. Through various training workshops and activities, it supports communities in running community library spaces to accelerate children’s learning, while ensuring the sustainability of these spaces.
Ashray Akruti
Ashray Akruti (AA) has set up multidisciplinary centers at Borabanda, Hyderabad. Free services provided at these specialized centers include assessment, speech therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and behavioral therapy. Catering to children in different areas of the spectrum, these centers are a sanctuary for parents to get the right help for their kids, without worrying about the cost.
