Beginning

Hazaron khwahishen aisi,
ki har khwahish pe dam nikle,
bohut nikle mere armaan,
mere armaan phir bhi kam nikle.

Ideas keep coming but this was one idea on which we took action.

We started this project on 26th nov 2005 with 15 to 18 children (age group between 3-15 yrs) at Dilli Haat. While some of these children are school dropouts, most of them never got an opportunity to go to a school. All of them are earning their livelihoods by polishing shoes and begging in Dilli-haat, Ansal plaza, South extension market, etc.

In the last one year, we have started 4 new centres within South Delhi benefiting more than 80 children. At the moment, we are running sessions at the following locations:
1. Dilli Haat
2. Bheekaji Cama traffic signal
3. Ber Sarai traffic signal
4. Jor Bagh traffic signal
5. Moti bagh

Our objectives

1. Target marginalized and street children to empower their skills, abilities and talents in order to support life in a better way

2. Inspire community members to share their resources, capacities and knowledge with these children

3. Promote volunteerism and act as a bridge between the volunteers and children
