A world where every child develops their potential to lead a dignified life.
WHY GUBBACHI EXISTS
Migrations to big cities are one of distress, not choice – individuals and families are pushed out of their villages in rural India by drought and debts. Conditions in cities are harsh.
Access to Health is poor. And so is access to Education.
Children from these communities are unable to attend schools at destination site, due to multiple reasons from physical access to learning deficits and cultural barriers. Even if attending school, non-learning in under-resourced Government schools is a problem. It leads to poor school outcomes and ultimately dropouts.
6 million children (MHRD 2014) are out of primary school in India and 47 million teenagers (15-17 years) are out of lower secondary school
In a modern economy, this only perpetuates the cycle of poverty for the family. We argue that this is as much of an urban crisis as it is a rural one. Each interconnected program in our portfolio supports the marginalised child in her journey through formal schooling, making it more effective.
Our Vision
Our Mission
To create positive, meaningful learning experiences for marginalised children, enabling them to break the cycle of poverty through education and live with economic, social and personal dignity.
Additionally, to empower underserved families through awareness, access to primary healthcare and documentation.
