Sumaya can dream of a happy future

Thank you for coming together to gift a full year of pre primary education to Sumaya.
Three year old Sumaya Sheikh hails from Reay Road, one of the innumerable poverty stricken slum pockets in Mumbai. Her father, Kudoos Shamim, is a dealer and her mother, Shakila, is a housewife and she is residing back at the native place.  Sumaya has two sisters as well. Both her parents are illiterate. The family income is barely enough to make both ends meet.

Though Sumaya hails such from a disadvantaged background she can dream of a stable future with a good education because she studies at the Reay Road study center, run by Sahaara. 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

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 Sumaya, get a start which will help her break out of the poverty cycle and fulfill her dream of a stable future.
