Concern for Humanity
Concern for Humanity is a Delhi based, more than two decades old organization, primarily working in the education space and it also has a budding women empowerment portfolio. Since its inception, Concern for Humanity (CFH) has been impacting the lives of vulnerable children who did not have access to schools or were school dropouts by providing them the opportunity of a bright future through education. In two decades of its efforts, CFH has established a firm footing. It has implemented education programs for poor deprived children and has reached out to nearly 16,000 vulnerable children in the slums of Delhi. In education space, the focus has been on improving the learning outcomes of in-school children by way of providing remedial education support. In consonance with the New Education Policy, 2020 and Government’s emphasis to reduce the dropout rate and increase the enrolment and retention of the students in the schools, CFH has a two-pronged strategy. We are working in the Government Primary Schools run by Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) where we run Shikshashalas (Remedial Education centres for improving the foundational literacy and numeracy) within the school premises, and in the community we reach out to in-school girls by way of running Learning Centres (Bal Shiksha Kendras) in the slums in South Delhi. The classroom education is complemented with Computer Learning Centres, where the senior grade students learn basic computer skills and English communication. The Learning Centres open after the school hours, and cater to academic needs of girls from grade 3 – grade 12. At these centres, once the students enrol, they stay with us till they complete their twelfth grade. It may be pertinent to mention that many of our girls have taken admission in colleges after completing twelfth. Concern for Humanity is also running a training cum production centre (Cutting & Tailoring) for the adolescent girls and for young women in the Sanjay Colony slum, Near Asola Wild Life Sanctuary, Delhi. Here, the trainees learn to stitch basic garments and also take professional orders.
