MISSION
We believe that the underprivileged population cannot free themselves from the vicious circle of poverty and benefit from sustainable development unless educated. Education reinforces children’s abilities to choose their future, because it expands their vision about the world and about themselves. Education is the key to unlocking the potential within each individual.
VISION
Since 1993, Sakshi has been working tirelessly and continuously towards the education and rehabilitation of children in the slum areas. Sakshi has primarily worked in marginalized communities which are in great need of educational and health facilities as well as in need of community development. Children living here usually stay out of school and many of them find work as rag pickers or construction workers, or may drift into a life of petty crime.
Sakshi believes that the basic needs and rights of children are synonymous. Each child needs and has the right to adequate food, clothing, shelter, education, recreation, medical facilities, care, and love. Sakshi works to protect children’s rights and provide opportunities to help them achieve their full potential.
Once a child becomes a beneficiary of the SAKSHI program, he along with his family becomes part of the SAKSHI Parivaar. The family thus continues to be empowered by access to Social workers, Hygiene and Nutrition Experts, and programs which build skills for financial independence of the child and his family. We want to achieve the level of best NGO in Delhi to facilitate our services to Delhi NCR regions.
We actively work on empowering women and supporting them through education, vocation and mental health support.
