We cover those underprivileged children who do not have access to the formal education system as well as supplementing those who have limited means with initiation into basic reading, writing and numerical ability with subtle tips on developing soft and social skills.
Nanhi Kashtiyan founded by Mr Roshan Sahai, besides pursuing a Corporate Career, is a passionate Sketch Artist and has used this talent to fund this initiative by launching Roshan Arts –a paid service for sketches. Hailing from a humble background himself, he overcame limitations to make a reasonably well Professional Career. Nanhi Kashtiyan is his way of paying back to the Society so that children get a platform to freely learn in the absence of proper means.

Teach For India (TFI) is a non-profit and a movement of leaders that was founded by Shaheen Mistri in 2009. It is a part of the Teach For All network. To build a growing movement of leaders, Teach For India runs a two-year Fellowship and supports an Alumni movement. The Fellowship recruits college graduates and working professionals to serve as full-time teachers in low-income schools for two years. The mission of Teach For India is “one day all children will attain an excellent education.”
As Education Volunteer at TFI, I got the opportunity to teach basics of the English language and grammar to children from underprivileged backgrounds from Mumbai.
