This centre has been running a very well organized literacy program for the slum children for the past 10 years. The neighborhood of the centre has a large slum with a sizeable population with very poor people who are the patrons of our medical facility. The children in these houses many times fail to continue to their studies due to various reasons, such as economic reasons, lack of initiative, lack of proper guidance and model, etc.
This organization decided to help these children in their education by providing well-evolved educational stimulation and also by imparting literacy program for the children. This programme has been very successful as over 120 children attend this program regularly and the centre has been able to get very dedicated teachers from the neighbourhood who teach these children in the evening every day.
Over the years considerable success has been seen in many children who have completed their 10 and 12 grades with much better grades and scores. This programme has helped particularly girl children from the slums whose parents are now able to realize the potential of their children as well as able to see that girls also have equal rights.
