About the organization
‘Education for the deprived’ is the motto of Khelghar. About 200 underprivileged children are benefited by this project. Most of the parents in Laxminagar are very poor construction workers and both must go out for work for the whole day. Children do not get a loving and caring atmosphere for learning. Hence, many children either drop out of school or are very irregular.
Khelghar conducts creative games, arts and crafts lessons, and discussions which help children to experience joy in learning. This motivates them to complete their basic education. Creative methods of education used in Khelghar are helping these children immensely. We have observed many positive changes in the children, who are attending Khelghar regularly. This includes:
Location
We work in Laxminagar near Dahanukar Colony at Kothrud, Pune.
Program updates
Life skill development is the prime focus of our work, but we do work on maths and language skills with some priority. The latter is perceived to be an important foundation of children’s all-round development. To ensure such development, we adopt the following strategies:
Interaction with parents is important to keep children within the folds of education and on the right track. For this another set of activities is undertaken. Continuous interaction with parents is done for better development of children and keeping children away from crime and addictions.
Special monthly meetings are facilitated to develop awareness among parents about the importance of education, gender sensitivity, and environmental awareness. For a better understanding of Khelghar, we conduct basic learning activities with enthusiastic parents in groups called ‘Khelghar mitra.’ For interested parents, we also run English language classes.
Future Plans
All our activities and classes will continue with the same zeal and zest in the future as well. The following activities are planned for the coming year:
