Our child development centres offer free coaching for more than 5000 school-going children in poverty-stricken urban slum and rural communities.
The primary aim of SEESHA’s Child Development Centres is to support first-generation learners in slums and rural areas where access to quality education is limited. The children who attend the free evening tuitions are those who come from poverty-stricken families. Most of their parents are uneducated, and are unable to help them with school work and assignments.
Plugging in gaps that prevent children from availing quality education by providing supervised study sessions and intensive coaching in core subjects like English, Math and Science.
Preventing children from becoming involved in anti-social activities which are rampant in urban slums by engaging them in constructive activity every evening.
Breaking the barriers that divide people of different castes in villages, by ensuring that children from all caste groups study and participate together.
Involving parents in the education and overall development of their children by insisting on periodic meetings.
Promoting health and hygiene by organising medical checkups, and health awareness programmes.
Making children environmentally responsible by encouraging them to participate in campaigns to conserve water, plant trees and to sensitise the society.
