There are 1.17 million slum children in Delhi. Deepalayas schools are making sure that at least some of them have a bright future.
In Delhi, a child living in a slum doesnt need too much money to get a good education. Not if she is fortunate enough to be studying at a Deepalaya school. Education at Deepalaya is not just about mastering the formal English curriculum, but building up the confidence of children through fun-filled activities in sports, arts and crafts. Deepalaya wants the children to dream of a future beyond the slums they live in, by giving them quality education at an affordable cost.
Deepalaya charges a monthly fee of Rs 200 from parents who can afford it.
Deepalaya firmly believes that students from the slums are as good as any other. What they need is an enabling environment that they can afford. The school concentrates on providing opportunities for developing latent talent, vocational skills, visits to places that the children can learn from, and the creation and animation of parent groups so that they take a direct interest in the education of their children.
Deepalaya started off with five children and a formal school in 1979. Today they work in 62 slum locations in Delhi and in 40 villages in Haryana.
