Kids Education in Impoverished Neighborhoods in India
education - a basic necessity & a fundamental right
Education is the means to a better life. We believe that whether you are addressing healthcare, poverty, unemployment or human rights, there's no better place to start than in the corridors of education.
To create the greatest impact, our goal is to support education initiatives for underprivileged kids living in impoverished neighborhoods. It empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood as well as increases one's awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behavior to understanding one's rights - and in the process evolve as a better citizen.
HealthShine is focused on partnering with local organizations who can collaboratively work on projects to provide greater access to education resources for the underprivileged. We are happy to announce that we partnered with Smile Foundation to implement one such project in the slums near New Delhi, India. This project was being led and managed by Serena Hirani.
