Listen to our children know what they feel..
"Before coming to school, I rarely get to eat
good food . I used to get food from nearby house
where my mom works. I don't like that food much
as it is not fresh. After I joined the evening
school, I ate fresh food and milk. I can now eat
rice as much as I want with sambar, rasam,
vegetables, etc ''Dinesh Raja.S, HELP Evening
School
I feel that formal school should learn some
methodologies of teaching children from evening
school. In school they do not respect us teach
us properly. In evening school, teacher Nathiya
teaches me nicely keeps me on her lap. She
allows me to practice computer keyboard she
allows me to play. I love the evening school
activity.Sindiya.B, HELP Evening School
When I was 7 years old my father abandoned us
and that time I was very sad and in spite of
telling him to come back he didnt. He married
again. I and my mummy were upset. We cooked in
the house after 15 days. From then, my mummy is
doing domestic work and feeding me. My mom cant
send me to school as she is having health
problems and is not able to meet our bread. I was
also about to stop school and go to work to help
my mom. At that time, HELP Evening school Madam
Sir came to my house and convinced us of the
importance of going to school. They are helping
me now and I am going to school and have got 1st
rank in my class.. My tuition teacher has helped
me a lot in scoring good marks. I want to become
a doctor and help the people in my village.

The most important thing in my life is to take
care of my mummy because she dont have anybody
to take care of her and I too. She sells idly in
the street and feeds me. I have to build a house
for my mummy as my house is damaged and my mummy
repairs the leakages herself. I am studying in
HELP evening school. They are helping me to go to
regular school , giving uniform , milk, notebook.
I am grateful to them. V. Mickeal vinoth, HELP
Evening School
In my regular school, if I have a problem, they
dont really care. As I go for flower picking in
the morning ,I sometime get late and they beat me
for not doing homework and coming late. But in
the evening school, teacher Hema never beats me
even if I come late. She asks me the problem and
helps me to do the home work in the evening
school. She tells me that I am a good student
that as I am working and studying, I will become
a successful woman. I love her as well as the
evening school. I am always excited to go to
evening schooand meet my teacher and do home work
keyboard practice. They have given me a new
bag, notebook, geometric box, etc. Rama lakshmi,
HELP Evening School
My father is a drunkard,He never goes to work.He
picks up fight with my mummy for money to drink
most of the time and beats her. Even if there is
no food in the house to eat, he takes away money
from my mummy who cleans vessels of nearby houses
for a livlihood. Every time my father used to
fight with my mummy, I could not study in my
house. I could not get notebooks as my mummy
could nor afford it.. Evening school is helping
me with all my needs. Brinda teacher is helping
me to solve Maths teach me English. I am
studing well and getting 3rd rank. I will get 1st
rank soon HELP Evening School

HELP at Maharashtra..
Objective of Maharashtra Chapter To
establish Child Development Centers in urban
slums/rural areas of Maharashtra State to
provide access to basic education to
underprivileged children.
13
What we do
All our activities are exclusively targeted
towards children and their parents. We select
children without any discrimination based on
gender, caste, religion, political affiliation or
language.

• EVENING SCHOOL PROGRAM ( ESP)
• 2. PRE-PRIMARY EDUCATION(PPE)
• 3. NON FORMAL EDUCATION (NFE)
• 4. TUITION SKILL DEVELOPMENT ( TSD)
• 5. WOMEN LITERACY PROGRAM ( WLP)

14
PRE-PRIMARY EDUCATION(PPE)..

• The Pre-primary Education (Balwadi) program to
  provide proper development to vulnerable and
  underprivileged children, primarily in the slum
  communities of Mumbai Thane Dist. The Balwadi
  program focuses on pre-primary education of
  underprivileged children between the ages of 3
  and 5 years old. The programs objective is to
  provide proper development during these crucial
  years and prepare children for formal schooling,
  making them less likely to drop out at a later
  age.
• These underprivileged children of poor parents
  working as domestics are likely to drop-out. This
  program encourages to develop school-going habits
  among the children from the beginning. This
  strengthens the foundation for future education
  of the children.

15
NON FORMAL EDUCATION (NFE)

• In the community where we work there are a number
  of out-of-school children. This non formal
  education is greatly aimed to mainstream them to
  the regular school system. Generally only 20 to
  30 percent of these children continue going to
  school. The rest are left with no choice but to
  resort to child labour.
• They have to work to survive. The school hours do
  not suit them. Apart from that,the public school
  systems teaching standard has gone abysmally
  low. It does not hold any attraction for them.
  And the fact is, the children these schools turn
  out are half-baked and ill-equipped to join the
  middle and high schools. They swell the army of
  drop-outs. Non-Formal Education Classes mainly
  focused for children who cannot attend school
  because they have to work.
• These classes are for out-of-school children with
  a special focus on basic literacy skills,
  language , maths basic lifeskills.

16

• TUITION SKILL DEVELOPMENT ( TSD) ..

• The underprivileged school going children are
  helped in coping up with their schoolwork and
  provided with a better ambiance, care , teaching
  and facility which they do not have acess to. A
  quiet place with proper guidance makes all the
  difference.
• We also provide tuitions, school fees, uniforms
  and moral support to ensure that those children
  due to lack of resources support at home do not
  drop out of main stream school. .

17
WOMEN LITERACY PROGRAM ( WLP) .

• Against the background of the patriarchal system
  of society, the women need special attention to
  ensure their development and participation in the
  decision making process at home, in the community
  and governance.
• This program emphasises the importance of
  education by training the uneducated mother of
  underprivileged children. Also to teach them
  basics of reading writing, importance of saving
  opening a bank account, financial management at
  home, etc.
• This program also give awareness of child
  education and motivates the mother to support
  their childrens education.

Child Development Center at Bhiwandi ( Start
Date-Dec-15-2009)
19
Bhiwandi community Background
The country's largest powerloom centre, some 50
kms from Mumbai , Maharashtra has 7.5 lakhs of
the 17 lakh registered powerlooms in the country.
The State government estimates that in Bhiwandi
itself more than 40 lakh people are dependent
directly or indirectly on the industry. A
government ruling in 1971 set down minimum wages
for workers, but rarely the workers are given the
stipulated monthly salary of approximately
Rs.3,000. Loom owners have exploited the
situation where there is no dearth of labour to
pay well below the minimum wage. Most of the
workers come from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Andhra
Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. They come all
the way due to lack of income from Agriculture or
slackness in their nearby powerloom centers. The
entire families of these workers residing in the
above States are dependent on their incomes.
20

• A trade union activist working in the area says
  "Such is the desperation in Bhiwandi that you can
  pick up anyone off the road and he is willing to
  work on the powerloom for any amount.
• Bhiwandi's powerloom workers are like sugarcane
  in the juice machine. We are squeezed until we
  have nothing left to give. Says Mohammed Munir,
  a powerloom worker
• He also says that four lakh workers in Bhiwandi,
  India's largest powerloom centre where around six
  lakh powerlooms operate 12 hours a day on an
  average for seven days a week, suffer the same
  fate.

21
-The children are forced to do moti or bead work
by which they earn Rs.30 to 40 daily to support
their family. Thus they are not send to school.
-Their parents are struggling to meet the
family needs as they hardly earn Rs.3000 to 5000
per month with which they cannot make both their
ends meet. -Most of these parents never went
to school in their life. They dont know the
importance of education.Thus. we have started
our Child Development Center at this
community. -We have adopted 30 children for the
Free tuition program , 25 children who are not
going to school under Non-Formal Education 20
mothers of these kids under women literacy
program. -We will be starting pre-primary
education soon for another 20 to 30 kids. All
these kids are not having parents or are single
parents child.
