More information
11 million children live on the streets, 44 million child laborers, 50,000 children are abandoned in a year. Out of 18 million children in the 6-14 age group, only 15.04 million are enrolled in school. 17% are therefore out of school. Of the children in school, around 50% drop out by class 5, and of the remaining less than 10% finish class 10. Independent studies show poor learning achievement. Less than 50% in class 5 can read and write alphabets in their other tongue. We "HELP" aim to educate them via evening schools & Child Development Centers. All our activities are exclusively targeted towards children and their parents. We select children without any discrimination based on gender, caste, religion, political affiliation or language. We follow an exhaustive evaluation process which includes quantitative metrics like the number of children impacted, the cost per activity or cost per child and qualitative measures such as the impact on the local community, structure and long term sustainability of the organization.
