Why Education Matters
As per UNICEF data 7.1 million children in India do not go to school. Vrushahi Foundation works to ensure that all children go to school so that there is no child labour as well as building a promising future for these underprivileged children. In India due to illiteracy and poverty, the children who may be the future leaders do not get educated either because their parents cannot afford their education or they are not exposed to the progressive environment. Vrushahi Foundation organizes awareness programmes on the need and benefits of education. Education enhances one's knowledge. Education is one of the methods of eliminating poverty as it creates independence of thought and develops a perspective of looking at life. Vrushahi Foundation is also helping the illiterate parents to admit their children in the municipal school and is determined to build a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development and participation.
Balwadi & Day Care Centre in Sangli (Slum)
Vrushahi Foundation appointed two part time teachers who can cater to the needs of these children who are otherwise loitering around the whole day. Vrushahi Foundation has started teaching them basic English language, Cleanliness, Good Habits, Mentoring and Counselling these underprivileged children etc.
