UMEED Education Scholarship Project is dedicated for children who are single parent, orphans or children who are facing financial difficulties due to family health issues.The purpose of this project is to support every child who has the desire to study and dream big but is unable to do so because of his/her financial condition. There are many social organization in Mumbai who support education and award scholarships to those who score high marks subject to several criteria’s but UMEED Education Project believes that help should be granted even to those children who may not score high marks are Average. Many of the children stay in the slums and do not get enough time to study as they work part-time jobs to earn for a living or even if they try to study there is no one to mentor /guide them.
What is stopping them to go to School?
Earn money to survive i.e. Child Labour?
If working, then ‘No School’?
If going to school and working a part-time job, then not enough time to study and score well?
In India today, 4% of our children never start school, 58% don’t complete primary schools and 90% don’t complete school. The fact that only 10% of our children go to college makes us feel sad.We believe that ‘Every Child’ has the ‘Right to Education’ and ‘No Child’ is an ‘Average Child’. Their life circumstances have made them average.
We at UMEED support their entire Annual fees in duration of 6 Month, to evaluate the progress and allot Mentors who guide them periodically and conduct classes regularly to ensure they receive proper supervision and teaching.
We found that a child who generally scored 35%-40% is now scoring 75%-80 %. This is our real achievement and it motivates us to support them because they are the future of India and it’s our duty to help guide them.
Our Vision is that every child should receive ‘Quality Education’.
