preschool in the

garbage dump community

This is our newest project! 

Families in this Garbage dump community are living below the poverty line.

Parents work during the day and can't afford preschool or childcare. As a result, their children are unattended and loitering in the streets. Children in India who attend preschool are at an advantage because they are prepared academically to start primary school. Schools often don't admit students into primary school if they haven't attended preschool.

With your support, we can bridge this divide for children living in the dump community in Kolkata. Preschool class is held on the bottom floor of the blue building pictured above. It is situated very near to the dump so families can easily walk there. Children attending class are also fed a nutritious meal and are given a backpack and appropriate school supplies.
