The Hard Work of Staying in School

Program:

Access to a school seat is only the first barrier vulnerable children in Mumbai face; staying enrolled, supported and confident enough to keep learning is the harder, longer problem. Running since FY 2022-23, this initiative strengthens the everyday support systems around a child's education: resources, continuity, and the kind of holistic development work that keeps a child engaged in school even when circumstances at home make that difficult. It's less a single flagship intervention and more sustained, quiet groundwork alongside families and communities.
