Delhi Community school provides free education to underprivileged students – Education News
A Delhi-based community school HOPE helps underprivileged students not having access to online education due to the COVID-19 pandemic to learn through mobile classrooms and provide free education to children along with free mid-day meals.
“We started this concept seven years ago. We aim to reach to underprivileged students,” said Marlo Philip, Founder, NGO, Tejas Asia.
Phillip further said, “Through the ‘Hope Buses’, we aim to go to places especially in an underserved community because we found out they don’t have access to go to the schools. We want to take the schools to the students. That is been our dream. We have seen so many lives touched and impacted through this. We also give them a mid-day meal which is cooked in our Hope Kitchen in Tughlaqabad”.
“Just in the last few days, we have started to go to a couple of locations and kids were happy to jump on the bus. The number of children has increased after COVID. I believe the Hope busses are bringing hope in their lives,” added the founder.
“On the bus we provide, slates, colouring pens, and whatever we can in the little space”, Marlo added.
