AID Delhi Chapter - AID India, Delhi Chapter

Started in the month of October 2006, this Programme called TARA aims at providing non-formal education to under privileged children.  

There is a construction site, which is located behind the department of English, has about 27 couples working as construction workers under a local builder, making it a good forty-five children who require primary education. However, these children don’t get access to education because their parents can’t afford it. So we decided to tackle the problem of education headlong. We could see that the only one way of correcting this problem was to involve a few more committed students in our outreach.

An overview: 

• Born as a vision of young students from Jamia Millia Islamia, in October 2006.
• Began with 30 books donated by the Aman Biradari Foundation.
• Mini classroom setup provided by a contractor at the building site.
• The Academy of Third World Studies & the community are our classrooms.
• Medical assistance provided by The Ansari Medical Centre, Jamia Nagar. 
  

Achievements:

• Brijesh (Officer) performs excellently within 10 months of training
