Help Diya Ghar Educate & Feed Another 100 Migrant Children In Bangalore! !

Hi there!

We would like to introduce you to Ismail

Ismail and his family moved to Bangalore 5 years ago from Bangladesh. His parents work as Ragpickers. Although Ismail is going to be 6 years old, he has never been to school! He used to be left alone in the community and would join those segregating the waste. Ismail joined our Diya Ghar Centre in Darahalli. He has 9 siblings and he is the very first child to go to school! 

His 7 older siblings work as rag pickers and he has 2 younger siblings. His parents are so happy that we have a Centre in their Community itself. They had given up hope that any of their children would ever get an education. Seeing how well Ismail is learning, they want to somehow send him and the younger children to school.

There are so many children like Ismail who don’t have access to school. 

You are making a difference in the lives of children like Ismail and giving them hope for their future.

We are working with 22 communities and serving 1000+ preschool children.  Diya Ghar provides a holistic education in a safe and nurturing environment to children of migrant laborers who would otherwise be exposed to neglect and abuse. The children also receive nutritious food, healthcare, and daycare while their parents are out at work. Currently, 100 children require funding for a year.

There are an estimated 50,000 migrant children in Bangalore without access to education, nutrition, or medical care. Their parents work in construction sites, garbage segregation centres, as vendors at bus stations, and as door-to-door knife sharpeners. Many of these families also resort to begging for a living. Some children accompany their parents to work, while others are unattended in their tents.  

Support the Dreams of 100 New Children

We are raising funds to support 100 children for an entire year. These children live in migrant communities in Bellandur and Marathahalli. Their parents are construction workers and waste pickers.

We want to make a difference in these children’s lives. Would you join us in our mission?

How Diya Ghar Works

Diya Ghar was founded in 2016 with serving five children. In the next few years, we grew to three Preschools and Day Care centres reaching 135 children. In 2020 we shifted to a community-based model and established preschool centres in the localities where the children live. Today, more than 1000+ children attend classes daily at our 22 Community Centres and receive education, nutrition, child care and medical care.

From our inception until June 2022, Diya Ghar has served over 3500 children

Early childhood care and education are critical to a child’s development. Migrant families are unable to send their children to Government run preschools since the schools are not close to the communities and also because parents are unable to drop their children off at 9 am and pick them up at 3 pm. Diya Ghar runs Montessori Preschools and Day Care Centres in and around communities. Our focus is nutrition, education, health care, and child care. Children have breakfast, lunch, and snacks which cover 70% of their daily nutritional needs. We teach them Math, English, and Kannada using the Montessori method. We do several activities to enhance their physical, emotional, and social development. We conduct quarterly health camps and support children who need treatment.

Diya Ghar's goal is to give each child the opportunity to experience the joy of learning. Join us in changing the lives of 100 children in the Bellandur and Marathahalli.

Your support can change a child’s life forever.
