More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Vikasini believes that formal education is the only means by which the girls of Addagutta, Secunderabad the second largest slum in Asia, can escape the fate that usually befalls the girl child in the poorer sections of Indian society, one of menial labor and long hours with meager wages. With this in mind, we endeavor to provide free education, food and supplies to the girls, so that the girls can hope for decent employment, positively impacting their lives and making a difference to society.
Activities
Vikasini conducts all the activities of a formal school in addition we provide school dresses, midday meals and a health drink. Deserving girls will be given scholarships and mainstreamed into regular schools after they complete grade 5.

Project Message
I am a road sweeper who cannot read or write. My daughter went and enrolled herself in the school. She now teaches me to write and speaks in English. I am happy that she will not end up sweeping roads
