Non formal Education Centers for the children in slums of Faridabad

2In January 2011, ABLE India took an initiative to start six non formal education centers in different slums of Faridabad with the objective “IF A CHILD CANNOT GO TO SCHOOL, LET THE SCHOOL GO TO THE CHILD”. At present, ABLE is educating 600 children in Faridabad. These centers provide need based educational services to the marginalized children in the following ways:

Non formal educational services for the young adults of any age to reduce the rate of drop outs from mainstream schools.

Admission of non school goers to the Govt. schools

Try to improve the reading, writing and arithmetic skills of the children.

Orphans and Widows’ Children’s Education Program, Palwal Through this program, ABLE Charities provides school fees, books and school uniforms based on specific needs of each child. Under this program, we regularly monitor the attendance of children in schools and motivate the (widowed) mothers and/or guardians to attend parent-teacher meetings regularly. This is an ongoing program and we intend on supporting 1000 children of widows and 300 orphans by April 2014.
