Anjali loves to sing nursery rhymes!

Thank you for gifting a year of education to Anjali.

Three year old Anjali Kamble hails from Turbhe red light area, one of the innumerable poverty stricken red light pockets in Mumbai. Her father, Ashok Kamble, is a driver and her mother, Kavita, is a trafficked woman working in Turbhe red light area. Both her parents are not educated. The family income is barely enough to make both ends meet.

Children like Anjali, residing in red light areas, face educational deprivation in terms of generational illiteracy, physical access to education and quality of education. Due to social stigma and poverty associated with red light areas, the children are not put in school and this missing out on education further compounds the present and future challenges of children like Anjali. Though Anjali hails from such a disadvantaged background she can dream of a stable future with a good education because she studies at the Turbhe study center, run by Sahaara.  The foundational pre-primary teaching provided at Sahaara’s balwadis enables Anjali to step into a bright future through enrolment in a good school.

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.

Anjali is a live wire with full of energy and bubbling with enthusiasm. She has got good recall skills and knows the numbers and alphabets. She enjoys performing nursery rhymes and loves singing action songs. She is sociable and shares her toys with the other children. She listens attentively in class and enjoys drawing and painting exercises as well!

Thank you for providing a year of education to little Anjali.
