An estimated 100 000 people live in Bagalur Layout slum with sub-standard living conditions and very little education.
There is little or no awareness of the importance of education, hence the need to make very basic education available.
Men work as construction labourers, painters, carpenters, rickshaw drivers, mechanics, plumbers and electricians. Women often work as maids or domestic help.
Our school serves as a stepping-stone between survival for daily existence and the formal education system. We facilitate the transition of the child, the family and the community using the tools of love, kindness, gentleness and an empowerment system, which is tailor-made to suit the residents.
