Komal is a live wire

Five year old Komal hails from Ambedkar Nagar, Colaba, one of the innumerable poverty stricken slum pockets in Mumbai. Her father, Kishan Rathod, is a fisherman and her mother, Thadi, is a fisherwoman. Komal has two sisters and one brother as well! Both hervparents are illiterate.

Children like Komal face educational deprivation in terms of generational illiteracy, physical access to education and quality of education as well. Though Komal hails from such a disadvantaged background, she can dream of a stable future with a good education because she studies at the Colaba study center, run by Sahaara. Being close to Komal’s house, the balwadi is a potent vehicle for transforming her future through quality education.

Sahaara’s balwadi has a systematic curriculum wherein children are equipped in the following subjects over the period of a year: English and Hindi: alphabets and poems, writing skills, general knowledge (colours, animals, flowers, personal hygiene etc), colouring, games and activities such as counting and recognition.

Komal is a live wire who is energetic and lively in class! She enjoys eating good food and is very talkative. She loves reading exercises. She is sociable and enjoys sharing her toys and things with other children!

Your generous donations of six months of tuition each, Jeff and Kelly, will ensure that Komal is able to get a full year of pre-primary education. Thank you for your generosity.
