Due to most of the hurdles in life it effects the education of the child. Also lack of quality education, lack of importance of education among the parents. are the major factors effecting to lack of interest in schooling .Most of the children are unable to cope up with age appropriate learning get drop out from school.

While interacting with the parents and children we understood that these parents also care about the future of their children but lack the resources and opportunities to help their child grow. Sparsha works with parents who are illiterate or semi-literate migrant workers, daily wage workers, street hawkers, etc. many of the time they are unable to feed the children and left early for work due to that most of the children were undernourished and use to come to our centre with empty stomach. their attention span was very less, very much prone to illness etc.

Through our intervention we have started Nutrition, quarterly medical check-up and monitoring their developmental needs along with that we stared preparing them for school readiness . 

So far Sparsha has impacted around 1050 children at the age group of 3 to 6 yrs. from 12000 families in 17 centres across different slum pockets in 3 Municipal wards in Mumbai. Also enrolled around 850 kids in 22 BMC schools to ensure enrolment of the children in the formal education system.

Our aim in the near future is to spread its wings and widen its horizon to provide helping hands to more and more disadvantaged children.

1.     Develop a structured, well-rounded foundation curriculum to nurture an interest in lifelong learning while preparing for school readiness.

2.     To enhance holistic development of child by facilitating activities for finer and motor skills, social and emotional skills and language development

3.     To promote education and increase access to education among low income communities through awareness and academic support. Spread awareness and promote long term benefits of education to families residing in slum communities.

4.     Build a trust based network partnership with parents via effective engagement and feedback channels to encourage involvement and support for their child’s education.

Student retention is a major topic of conversation, and has been so for a while. It is essential to know about student retention because it has become the unit for measuring the overall success rate of Education. Everyone, including parents, policy makers, stakeholders of the school, considers student retention rate as the big thing.
