Like all proud Indians and NRIs, we too, want to make India a better country. Even after the typically fierce “but India has a great history” retort, we look down embarrassed and helpless in terms of our rural youth being misguided and unemployed. The education system in rural India suffers both on poor infrastructure as well as an abysmal quality of education.A short clip above gives an overview of our work. Also there are related articles by Dr. Rishikesha T Krishnan, Director, IIM Indore. We have been very lucky to have had the stalwarts from the education &amp; social entrepreneurship sector (Professors from IIM Indore, Bangalore, Udaipur &amp; TISS; Caring Friends, Mumbai, Other NGO entrepreneurs like Vinayak Lohani) and tie-ups with institutions like Head-Held High &amp; Goonj Delhi) guide us through our journey of trying to bring around this paradigm shift. 
 We need your contribution to help the youth realize their dreams. Lets together give them our support and guidance and do our part in giving back to the society we feel proud to be a part of!SSES through its educational initiative SSISM empowers the rural youth with access to quality higher education and employment opportunities. It offers graduation courses with transportation to rural students from the interiors of Madhya Pradesh (70 KM radius). Free computer access education is provided to school children. Special focus is on girl education and parent counseling. Out of 1050 students; 70% are girls, few being university toppers. SSES provides placement &amp; entrepreneurship opportunities to students by exposing them to current industry needs every 6 months via industry visits, training, updated curriculum, vocational training etc. Spoken English classes from Head-Held High, Bangalore headed by CNN IBN Awardee aims to bridge the crucial communication gap that poses a big challenge of these students. 
 SSES target to impact minimum 10,000 direct beneficiaries per year. These include students, their families and all who wants to become self reliant.Since 2010; we have imparted courses &amp; training's to nearly 6000 people. A paradigm shift from being aloof to being aware and focused to parents encouraging their girls to study and become independent have been our key achievements. Some of the achievements are: 1050 total students, 60% girls from 200 villages, 4000+ villagers trained in the basics of computers, 10+ entrepreneurship projects, 14 university toppers, 3 university sports captain and 70+ placements in national and multi-national companies.SSISM alumnis being role models, girls making an exemplary mark by being independent and proving themselves, Emergence of local entrepreneurs. Girls who decide to stay in village are much sought after as teachers at primary and secondary schools, allied industries and occupations like dairy farming, retailing, etc. They are proving to be more aware and dedicated for their family occupation, like farming.

Mumbai's significant population, coupled with a high percentage living in slums, underscores the pressing need for interventions to address poverty and its associated challenges. The situation you've described highlights the stark realities faced by marginalized communities, especially widows and destitute families, who are disproportionately affected by poverty due to limited access to resources and educational opportunities.MESCO's Ration Support Scheme emerges as a crucial lifeline for vulnerable families grappling with food insecurity in the face of rising inflation and economic hardships. By providing essential dry ration items every month, such as rice, wheat, sugar, pulses, and cooking oil, the scheme directly addresses the immediate needs of these families, ensuring they have access to nutritious food to sustain themselves. The decentralized nature of the program, with distribution centers spread across different areas of Mumbai, facilitates accessibility for beneficiaries, reducing barriers to access and ensuring efficient delivery of assistance.The impact of the Ration Support Scheme extends beyond alleviating hunger; it also contributes to improving the overall well-being and resilience of families facing economic hardships. By addressing a fundamental aspect of poverty - access to food - the scheme helps mitigate the immediate effects of deprivation while also providing a platform for broader interventions aimed at sustainable poverty reduction and empowerment. Your contribution will make us reach each and every individual in need, support us by donating here.

There are people in this world for whom, basic healthcare is a distant dream. In absence of support for health care &amp; treatment people are pushed towards poverty, permanent disability, dependence at times leading to loss of lives. We at MESCO believe that everyone has the right to access medical support without suffering hardships.It is through our Decades of observance that Government inspite of having substantial public health infrastructure has its own set of limitations in catering the diverse medical needs of Mumbai’s population. The additions of migrant populations, coming to Mumbai in surge for health care support bring in additional challenges. Our interactions with the social welfare departments from almost the top 5 Govt. Hospitals viz. 1)J.J Group of Hospitals 2) K.E.M Hospital 3) B.Y.L Nair Hospital and 4) LTMG Sion Hospitals have helped us in understanding and catering the required assistance to such poor patients. At the same time these Hospitals have Conferring Certificates of Merits to MESCO at their Annual Day Celebrations for our Services in the field of Medical Support. 
 It is for these under-privileged people of the society that MESCO strives to provide General Medical Aid! MESCO has been providing Medical Aid to the ones in dire need since the year 1976 through the various schemes. Cases approach personally as well as &amp; telephonic enquires every day for medical aid help are guided by our medical staff about the scheme &amp; the procedure to get the medical aid form , which are distributed in the every month. Under this scheme, aid will be provided to poor patients who require help for medicines, minor surgeries, the cost of diagnostic procedures, and the provision of medical appliances (prosthesis)  
 Relieves the financial burden and stress on health of the patient also for his/her concerned family member.Being hopeful for support and treatment cost brings in empathy for the patient. With surrounding sense of security hopes of better living conditions amidst the traumatic scenario are ignited, especially in cases of Accidental/Permanent Disability/Permanent Dependency Cases.

Help provide Medical Aid

The migrating population mostly working as plumbers, electricians, drivers (taxi, auto) vendors, hawkers, auto mechanics, zari workers, residing on rental basis come to the cities in search of employment for better standard of living, to get better education and healthcare for their children. Due to the rising costs of living, they compromise on their educational needs especially pre-primary education. This vulnerability leads to cascading effects, children in their vital age of development which if detected and intervened at the right time (formative years) can be crucial in setting the base for later education.Today, pre-primary education is more of a commercial venture with most Nursery Schools operating on commercial lines. The pre-primary schools attached to the Municipal schools provide a feeder source for the higher classes while Aanganwadis and ICDS schemes (since 1975) run by Government has not yet made a significant dent in child’s overall development in their early years, as the major focus remains on combating malnourishment. The Government has issues of ineffective planning and implementation of programs, accountability, shortage of qualified early childhood teachers etc.Government Schools operate Balwadis and Aanganwadis at an extremely low cost with lack of quality learning, while Private ones charge exorbitant fees. 
 MESCO provides Education Aid to Children in Nurseries The Children gain from almost 4 decades of expertise &amp; experienced teachers with the following traits: Qualified, trained teachers.Bank of teaching aids.Teaching methodology that the child enjoys – Child centered experiential learning.Providing nutritious meal as per the advice of dietitian.Preparations the child to get admission to good English medium high school of the area.Singular record of having seen over 10,000 students getting admission to high schools of the area around.The Nurseries have a proper system of internal monitoring and record keeping of the child’s attendance, academic performance, teacher’s observance reports in place. The teachers are instrumental in reaching out to parents and informing them about the admissions and their procedures so that the child is admitted to good high school of the area. 
 70-80% of the children from Nurseries are enrolled in the Reputed High Schools of the areas; this indicates that we have met our objective of creating awareness and got the parents interested in their children’s education and finally securing admission into good schools. Hopefully all these children will go up the ladder and complete their Board exams. Through the funds raised through Give India, A child can pay its fees to Nurseries.
