Educating Slum Kids For A Better INDIA
Global Innovative Foundations for Transforming Society (GIFTS NGO) is a non-profit organisation founded by students from different reputed institutions of India to serve the society through the power of education. GIFTS has started a year-long education camp project for the children of the slum area so that make every kid school going and educationally competent. In this project, twenty volunteers from the prestigious Jamia Millia Islamia Central University and from other Universities and Colleges go to teach in a slum area every weekend situated in Noor Nagar which is a is a part of Okhla, New Delhi. The project started on the occasion of Republic Day that is on 26th January 2019.
This slum area constitutes of both Muslims and Hindus communities of mainly backward categories who were first hesitant to sit together to study and wanted to make two separate groups inside the slum. But the young volunteers of GIFTS convinced them and their parents to be together and study together so that they can rise together. There are many families inside this slum having a majority of children between the age group of three years to twelve years. Few of them are also enrolled in government schools. But the majority of them is unable to read and write well. The volunteers of GIFTS not only teach the children to be better students but also encourage them to be better individuals teaching them the lesson of honesty, unity and personal hygiene. The kids are encouraged and taught to be good to each other. Moreover, the volunteers
also encourage their parents to send their kids regularly to study, especially the girl child, as education only can improve their social and economic status contributing to their overall development. The GIFTS volunteers also gifted books, notebooks, pens and pencils to the children in the first week. They also try to inculcate the spirit of improvement in the children and to excel in their studies by distributing the prizes to the better students of the day. Indeed the camp is spreading a ray of hope and opportunity in this underprivileged section of the society. This camp is also fulfilling the vision of GIFTS social media campaign that is the message of humanity by creating love and brotherhood between two communities which are divided by politics and united by GIFTS.

We are organising many other events along with this camp like yoga sessions, outdoor games, painting and drawing competitions, mothers meet etc so as to contribute to the overall developments of these little angels.
The NGO members are mainly students and there is no funding from any source yet they contribute from the savings of their pocket money every month for the operations of the trust and running this camp. Despite their best efforts, there is a shortfall of funds. This shortfall is making it difficult for this NGO to continue the good work of providing food, stationaries and education to these kids.
There are a lot of kids who want to follow their passion. Among them, some have got extraordinary talent. Unfortunately, the shortage of funds is an impediment for the same.
