Support a Child in Slums & JJ Colonies of Delhi by providing School Books and Study Material

Since the COVID having impact on people’s health, work and life among the most important challenges created by COVID is how to adapt to a system of education built around schools. Since last two academic years schools have been closed. Primary to middle class students in slum colonies are most effected as many of them have lost their earning family members and still unable to continue their studies. Such families main priority is to earn livelihood instead of education to children.

During CORONA crisis school closure have a very real impact on all students, but especially on the most vulnerable ones who are more likely to face additional barriers. Children and youth from low-income Families; and Indigenous backgrounds; with diverse gender identities and sexual orientations; and those with special education needs suffer by being deprived of physical learning opportunities, social and emotional support available in schools and extra services such as school meals. 

ABHINAV SAMAJ, through this project, is providing Free School Books, Stationery and other study materials to nursery to middle school students living in slum colonies since May 2020 i.e. beginning of CORONA crisis so that students could continue to be friendly with their syllabus.

Since May 2020 we have been distributing School Books, Stationery and other learning materials to students of Nursery to Middle Classes living in slum colonies i.e. Kali basti (Vikas Puri), JJ Colony, A-Block, Uttam Nagar, JJ Colony, Khayala, JJ Colony, Hastsal, JJ Colony, Vikas Nagar, JJ Colony, Raghubir Nagar etc. in Delhi so that students could continue their studies to some extent, however they can't study like in schools. Our volunteers have been giving them weekend coaching classes too to help them in their studies. This year too we are distributing School Books, Stationery and other learning materials to students of Nursery to Middle Classes living in above colonies.

As the most effected areas during COVID is slum colonies and JJ Colonies in Delhi. Families living in such colonies having main priority for their food instead of education to children. Due to our efforts children living in these slum and JJ Colonies could continue to their studies to some extent. Since April' 2020 till date we have distributed School-Books/Study-Material to 10,980 students in above colonies.
