Hassarat, the lively child!

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

Hassarat is a live wire who is always lively and active in class! He thoroughly enjoys physical activities like running and hopping. He is a good listener and has a hunger to learn more and more from his teacher! He is sociable and loves sharing his toys with the other children.

Sahaara Charitable Society believes that every person has a dream, and their work centers around ensuring that marginalized persons are able to articulate and work towards achieving their dream. Sahaara’s early childhood education program gives children like Hassarat, get a start which will help him break out of the poverty cycle and fulfill his dream of a stable future.

Your generous donation, Catherine, will enable Sahaara to provide a year of pre-primary education to Hassarat.

Thank you, Catherine, for your gift to Hassarat!
