Why This Matters

Shelter homes and Child Care Institutions (CCIs) play a vital role in safeguarding children who have been orphaned or come from families unable to provide adequate care. Without these safe and structured environments, many of these children would be left vulnerable to neglect, exploitation, and a cycle of poverty. Programs like Saksham focus on transforming these spaces into nurturing homes that offer not just shelter, but holistic care—including health, nutrition, education, and vocational training. This comprehensive support is essential for helping children heal, grow, and build a path toward a self-reliant and hopeful future.
The BCPT grant played a pivotal role in ensuring uninterrupted education for 18 children by covering their school fees—a foundational step toward stability. However, the true significance of the intervention lay in addressing the often-overlooked yet essential needs such as uniforms, books, and transportation. These resources were crucial for the children to fully engage in school life, both academically and socially. By removing these barriers, the grant not only enabled access to education but also empowered the children to participate with dignity, confidence, and a renewed sense of belonging.

Our Intervention

The Difference We’ve Made

The fee coverage not only safeguarded their educational journey but also nurtured their personal growth, resilience, and skill development by providing them with the stability and resources they needed to thrive. With the burden of tuition removed, the children were able to focus on their studies, improving their academic performance and gaining confidence in their abilities. This sense of security allowed them to engage more fully in school activities, develop essential life skills like communication and problem-solving, and build the resilience needed to overcome challenges. As they advanced academically and personally, the children gained the tools and mindset necessary to pursue brighter, more promising futures, equipped to navigate both educational and life challenges ahead.
