Since 2010, fifteen children have been supported with over 20 hours per week of

learning and mentoring in morning and evening sessions at the Sajeevta

neighbourhood learning centre in Gandhinagar. Children have been selected

where families lack formal education and resources to effectively support childrens

school learning. Four learning mentors work at the Gandhinagar neighbourhood

centre running classes with the children and working with families, teachers and

the school management team.
