One of our key initiatives, ‘Maitri’, was established to address the acute needs of children in Sisarma village. At present, we have 15 students attending Maitri and receive after-school education at the Maitri Learning Centre. They are guided by a dedicated teacher who provides academic support, helps with schoolwork, conducts engaging activities like games and storytelling sessions and ensures their overall well-being through nourishment, clothing and medical care.
The children come from Sisarma village, where most parents work as daily labourers or farmers. Some of the children come from single-parent households and many face significant challenges due to a lack of resources.
The children are not just gaining academic knowledge but also developing life skills through various recreational and learning activities, which play a crucial role in their holistic growth.
