If we need to address healthcare, poverty, population control, unemployment and human rights, there’s no better way to start than by providing education to children in need. Education not only empowers children to have a secure future but also helps them grow up as responsible national and global citizens. The Right to Education (RTE) Act, which came into force in 2010, made education free and compulsory for all children in the age group of 6–14 years. But even a decade later, the learning curve has not been steady for many children in the country. Socio-economic challenges, lack of proper infrastructure, and limited resources continue to prevent children from accessing quality education.
One Love Welfare Foundation’s flagship Education Programme works with the objective of empowering underprivileged children by providing access to education, nutrition, and holistic development. The initiative is aligned with the New Education Policy (2020) and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4, ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. The programme reaches out to children (3–18 years) from economically weaker sections, marginalized communities, street children, abandoned children, and those living in tribal belts, slums, and hard-to-reach areas.
