Vision & Mission
Our Vision
Since 1993, Sakshi has been dedicated to educating and rehabilitating children in marginalized slum communities, ensuring they receive the care, support, and opportunities they deserve. We believe every child has the right to food, shelter, education, healthcare, and emotional well-being, and we work to protect these rights while helping them realize their full potential. Once a child joins Sakshi, their entire family becomes part of the *Sakshi Parivaar*, gaining access to social workers, nutrition and hygiene experts, and skill-building programs that support long-term financial independence. Our vision is to become the leading NGO in Delhi, expanding our services across Delhi-NCR while empowering women through education, vocational training, and mental-health support.
Our Mission
We believe that the underprivileged population cannot free themselves from the vicious circle of poverty and benefit from sustainable development unless educated. Education reinforces children’s abilities to choose their future, because it expands their vision about the world and about themselves. Education is the key to unlocking the potential within each individual.
