Education for 1000 slum children in Goa

Dear Patron,

 Slum children face numerous obstacles in accessing quality education, including poverty, lack of resources, and limited access to safe learning spaces. These challenges often lead to low enrollment rates, inadequate learning facilities, and underqualified teaching staff, hindering their academic progress.

Many slum children are forced to work to support their families, which limits their time and energy for schooling.

We at El Shaddai aim to provide free education to all underprivileged and slum children so that it will help to empower the children by breaking the cycle of poverty, providing better job opportunities, and boosting economic development. It will also foster personal growth, social awareness, and community development, ultimately leading to more sustainable and positive change. We have in these three months reached out to 2,921 children by providing access to education through formal and non-formal schooling.

The children also receive educational kits like school bag, tiffin, water bottles and stationary. They are given midday meals which will provide a regular source of nutrition, encouraging school enrollment and attendance, and improving their overall health and well-being.

We have a beautiful transformation story of a little girl named Chaya(name changed). She stayed on streets with her mother and siblings. They are family of 5. She is the eldest of them. She often used to see children going to school and dreamt of the same but it seemed impossible for her. But one day while our Outreach worker was on field visit he happened to come across this family and informed the family the work of El Shaddai. The mother's eyes were filled with tears as she could finally give her children a better life by admitting them to EL Shaddai and that's how all his siblings were admitted here. She is very happy now as her children are learning so much and wants to keep learning and change their future to a better one.

To date, El Shaddai has provided education for many Children and we have been able to achieve this wonderful cause only with the love and support provided by generous supporters like you all and for playing a pivotal role in enabling us to continue our work to provide education, support, and resources to those in need.

With Gratitude

Sincerely

El Shaddai Family
