.: Our Children School

As social philanthropic organization Our Children Foundation promotes education amongst underprivileged children in rural India in a sustainable manner. We focus on strengthening education systems to ensure all underprivileged children receive an education that enable them to engage in meaningful work. The goal of the foundation is to provide institutional reforms that improve disadvantaged people's access to and success in quality education. Our Children Foundation believes that whether you are addressing healthcare, poverty, population control, unemployment or human rights, there is no better place to start than in the corridors of Education. Because education is both the means as well as the end to a better life, because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and it increases one's awareness on range of issues - from healthcare to appropriate social behavior and in the process evolve as a better citizen. Children are the future of nation. For an emerging and developing country like India, development of underprivileged children holds the key to the progress of the nation itself. Education for underprivileged children is the key whether we are addressing poverty or human rights issues. The Convention on the Rights of the Child defines basic rights of children covering multiple needs and issues in India endorsed on December 11, 1992.
