on 19 December 2011

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Child Action supports Mumbai’s street and slum children through education, and play‑based learning delivered by exceptional grassroots partners. We work with Doorstep School and the Opentree Foundation to bring mobile classrooms, foundational literacy, life‑skills and safe learning spaces to children who would otherwise be left behind. Our long‑term partnerships allow us to reach children living on construction sites, pavements and informal settlements, helping them build confidence, resilience and brighter futures. From School on Wheels to Foundational Play™, our programmes strengthen wellbeing, keep children in education and support girls to delay early marriage. Every child deserves a lift. Your support helps us bring learning, opportunity and hope to Mumbai’s most vulnerable children.

Story

 

Thanks for visiting my page! Will you sponsor me? 

Yes it's true, I'm off on another walk in Mumbai, on 2 October, this time to walk 10K for charity, and to meet enrepreneurial kids making toys from trash. With the help of The British Asian Trust, The Sharma Foundation is working on a project which uses creative, digital and media education resources to allow young people to experience what life is really like in the slums of Mumbai.

These videos will be made with help from Toybank and will form a core part of that learning experience. Hopefully they will raise awareness of the situations that those in poverty face, while inspiring young people to make a difference through their own innovative skills - embedding social entrepreneurship as a core value. 

 

The more learning resource we can create, the more schools we can work with here..spreading our message and bringing UK schools onboard to help make a difference to the lives of slum dwellers through school based and university based fundraising projects.

If you would like to support this project with creative, video, storywriting, engineering or educational skills, please get in touch. If you can help financially, please dig deep and donate now.  

Thank you for your support, you can read more about this at my blog http://thesharmafoundation.org/blog/?p=256
