Mission: To create spaces of learning and support for children by collaborating with individuals, institutions and initiatives. Programs: "आनंदघर" Anandghar (Home of Happiness) Idea: The idea is to provide basic formal & informal education and skills to child waste pickers as well as out-of-school children and make them capable of joining main stream schools to cope with the learning process in the school. It is achieved through Informal Learning Center which will act as a bridge between the children who had never went to school or those who dropped out of schools and the main stream schools.
