Women Empowerment Programmes
In order to empower women, Deepalaya has helped form self-help groups for the underprivileged, where each participant contributes a fixed amount. These self-help groups have boosted women's confidence, encouraging them to operate bank accounts, read, write, and start micro-enterprises. Because of this initiative, women have become more independent, the literacy rate of girl children has increased, women have begun to fight alcoholism and there is increased respect towards women in communities.
In addition, there is a decrease in incidents of child marriage, female foeticide, and domestic violence. Deepalaya also partnered with Amway India to initiate the "Sanitary Napkin Project" which helps women become entrepreneurs and manufacture economical sanitary pads, empowering women and making sanitary napkins more affordable to the poor. It has helped them set up machines, understand the manufacturing process, and also market the napkins.
-
Education Programmes
StateIn order to complement the education that children receive in Government schools, Deepalaya has established numerous learning centres. In addition, it has set up two formal schools. In both the schools and learning centres, Deepalaya aims to help the children develop holistically, focusing not only on academics but also on various talents such as dance, music, sports and art.
Further, Deepalaya has adopted a 'Positive Discrimination to the Girl Child’ policy. Thus, it actively identifies girls who are not in school and encourages them and their families to enrol them in school. It offers incentives in the education fees and provides admission to the boys of the family only if the parents enrol the girl child.
Additionally, Deepalaya began an initiative called the Father and Daughter Alliance, which aims to involve fathers in their daughters' education and encourage them to be actively involved in their daughters' daily work, homework and class assignments.

Sambhav- Differently Abled
State"Children with special needs are overlooked in the sphere of education and policy planning in terms of accessibility and support systems, and even more so when they hail from disadvantaged circumstances. We strongly believe that differently abled children can lead a normal life if they have effective access to services like care and development, education, vocational training, employment opportunities, and the availability of aids and appliances. Sambhav works with children from urban slum communities in Delhi and caters to beneficiaries from 27 adjoining slum communities."

Donor Testimonial
Congratulations to Deepalaya for its 43 years of dedication
and commitment towards holistic child development. My
association with the organisation began in 1991. Over the
years I have been privileged to be part of many wonderful
initiatives with Deepalaya. Since 2014, my family charitable
foundation - Laj Jagdish Foundation - has been supporting
the Sambhav Project, a special unit for care and development
for children with differential abilities. With them, I share
the vision for inclusion and mainstreaming for the children
with special needs. I appreciate how Deepalaya is working
on various associated aspects to ensure an overall child
centric environment at the center. My best wishes to you all.
