Door Step School

The mission at Door Step School is to use innovative programs to bring education to the poor children in urban areas.

Projects at DSS :

  • School on Wheels: We bring a school to the doorstep of those who would otherwise go without it. Our aim is to give street children a chance to experience what learning is all about and how fun it can be.
  • Study Centers: For children that attend school and need help coping with schoolwork. A little guidance and a sanctuary for learning can make all the difference.
  • Balwadi (Kindergartens): We get youngsters (age 4-6) to have fun 'learning', so that they are more inclined and better equipped to go to school.
  • Out of school programs: Sadly some children cannot attend school because they have to work. We conduct classes close to where they live or work. These flexible programs cater to their special needs.
  • Libraries: In co-operation with school authorities we organize book reading sessions. We run community libraries for low-income readers, and have reference library centers where kids can have access to books and magazines, and even work on computers.
