Story
  • Lack of early childhood care and guidance for all slum children.
  • Unavailability of alternative avenues for the academically unsuccessful students.
  • Dearth of free clinical consultations, pathological diagnosis, medicines, nutritional supplements, hygiene kits, and health education sessions for the underprivileged people.
  • Scarcity of public toilets, hand washing units and other sanitation facilities in the slums.

Calcutta Rescue supports 650 students living in the slums of Kolkata through 2 of its education centres. Calcutta Rescue provides educational support to the students from their pre- primary stage until they complete their education and start earning a living. The students are mostly first- generation learners, who come from difficult home environment and need utmost care at our centres so that learning is made joyful for them. In its effort to make learning holistic, emphasis is also on sports and music by design. For the academically unsuccessful ones, Calcutta Rescue makes provisions for vocational training so that they can earn a living via alternative avenues.

Calcutta Rescue staff and volunteers work across 3 fixed primary care clinics, 3 mobile clinics, 2 primary and secondary education centres, a small employment programme for recovered patients, and facilitate WASH interventions in slums. Calcutta Rescue provides primary healthcare services to communities in 32 slum areas with a combined population of approximately 30,000 people.

  • Enable 700 students from the urban slums with nutrition, remedial education, vocational training and job guidance, sports guidance and music engagements.
  • Improve access to hygienic sanitation, closed bathrooms and clean water in 5 slums, directly affecting nearly 1300 households.
  • Address preventive and curative healthcare of approximately 30,000 slum residents including infants, pregnant women and new mothers.
