ProShikhha

In our country, we often see street children being beaten for stealing things or working in some factories for minimum wage. Rapid urbanization across the country has led to the creation of urban slums where street children lead a very vulnerable life. Street children have no definite living or sleeping places, and many die young from neglect, malnutrition and disease.

ProShikkha is a youth led initiative that is working to increase STEM engagement among children who are otherwise deprived of many opportunities. With support and resources we hope to help learn through science projects of various kinds and develop their skills across the board. In the future they could be well on their way to STEM competitions and having a financial security net.
