Appeal
We appeal for your generous support to improve the education of vulnerable children in Mumbai's slums. Your contributions will directly fund our essential programs:
Slum children in Mumbai face immense challenges, including overcrowded living conditions, poor access to healthcare, and limited educational opportunities. Lok Seva Sangam has identified many children who are at risk, such as those exposed to gambling, living in unhygienic environments, or coming from families of rag pickers, daily wage earners, migrant workers, and relatives of leprosy patients. Many of these children are first-generation learners or have dropped out of school.
Your donations will help sustain our three pre-primary education centers, providing quality early childhood education, nutritious mid-day meals, and a safe space for these children to learn and grow. By supporting us, you will ensure that these young learners have a brighter future, away from the cycle of poverty and vulnerability, giving them the tools they need to thrive.
