It becomes worse when it comes to the domestic workers as their work is not regulated and does not come under any of the Government welfare schemes. This is the main reason that they are unable to send their children to better schools and to provide better education. But they try their best to educate the children with whatever income they earn.

Main activities:

Tuition for domestic workers children: – 48 children are given help for remedial classes conducted by the private teachers. The animator does supervise the attendance of the children and inquire about their study from the teachers.

Quiz competition:-The purpose of the quiz competition was to widen their general knowledge and increase a competitive spirit in them. 36 children from 3 slums participated in the competition.
