Project Brief:
We have established 3 Knowledge with Fun Centers that use interactive & interesting
teaching methodology and materials to make the learning experience more meaningful and
enjoyable for the children.
The timings for the batches are as per the convenience of the children as many of them are street &
working children/take care of younger siblings in absence of their parents.
The library encourages reading habits amongst children and broadens their exposure to the world.
The multimedia activities are planned based on the needs and interests of children.
Through films, the children are made
aware on issues like child rights, adolescent
reproductive health, child sexual abuse, HIV/AIDS, gender relations etc. The follow up discussions
provide opportunities to children to share their life experiences / problems they experience on the street.
