Aashayein foundation
Summary
Aashayein Foundation is an NGO (non-governmental organisation) in India that works towards the betterment of the underprivileged children through education. The organization was founded in January 2007 but was formally registered on 19 May 2007 by a group of young IT professionals between the ages of 20 to 30 years. The organization achieves its goals by conducting projects and events aligned with its goals.
Aashayein Foundation recognizes the importance of quality education in the growth and development of individuals, country and the world. All the activities of the foundation, are aimed towards the improvement of the standards of education among underprivileged kids.
Although there are many challenges faced by the system of education in India, the foundation has identified three major areas to direct its activities and efforts.
In India, there are a large number of kids who do not attend school. These children are deprived of their basic rights to education. They do not get a chance to get introduced to the education system – that could make a difference in their lives. If this situation continues, these kids would probably grow up being uneducated and would struggle for their livelihoods. Providing these children access to education can turn around their world and create a profound change in their lives. This area is addressed by the Bachhe Mann Ke Sachhe (BMKS) project.
The condition of a majority of the schools in India is not in a state that can promise a good learning environment to the children and ensure their overall development. This hampers the overall effectiveness of a school. By improving the infrastructure of schools and enabling them with the basic requirements, the children get a considerably good environment to identify and improve their skills. This area is addressed by the Pustaka Abhiyana (PA) project.
Quality pertains to the effectiveness of the practices, methods and technologies used to impart education. Quality also depends on the curriculum and its relevance in children's lives.
