Harika is a live wire!

Three year old Harika hails from Gorai, one of the innumerable poverty-stricken slum pockets in Mumbai, India. Her father, Monik, works as a manual labourer and her mother, Laxmi, is a seamstress. Harika has two sisters as well. The family is poor and struggles to make ends meet, and they find it very difficult to cope with medical emergencies.

Harika studies at the Gorai study center run by Sahaara. She is a keen student who has always been eager to attend the study center. Harika is a live wire who is energetic and lively in class! She is very sociable and loves playing with other children.

Sahaara’s study center 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; and games and activities such as counting and recognition.

Sahaara Charitable Society believes that every person has a dream, and their work revolves around ensuring that marginalized persons are able to work towards achieving these dreams. Sahaara’s early childhood education program gives children like Harika a strong foundation that will help them break out of the poverty cycle.

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

Thank you so much for gifting a dream to this energetic child!
