What it reported doing in 2018

The Ashraya Initiative for Children (AIC) Education Outreach Program provides daily material, emotional and, primarily, educational support to young slum and street children ages 3 to 17 from our vicinity, who show the most pressing needs. They are selected on a case-by-case basis through fieldwork. The children receive financial support for school fees, as well as tutoring at our Education Outreach Center. In addition, we provide meals, medical aid, clothing, shoes and transportation to and from schools, counseling and other services to the children and their families.
