About the institution:
Asha kuteer established 2013 with the vision of ensuring a safe and happy childhood for vulnerable children on streets and to help them access protection, education, nutrition and healthcare. More specifically, it focuses on girl-child to grow up in a secure and joyful environment where she can fully develop her talents in order to lead an independent life with dignity.
It currently takes care of 40 girls who are from underprivileged backgrounds - orphans, semi-orphans, street children, child labourers, school drop-outs. They work to secure the basic rights of the girl child through guaranteed education, nutrition, clothing, healthcare, recreation, love and support to ensure their reintegration into mainstream society. The girls are enrolled in regular school programs and age appropriate classes, usually after a short period of remedial teaching and buddy programs. They also support the girls with counselling, vocational training, life skills, music and dance classes, sports etc. which would support them to become skilled and confident.
