Shreya is a 14 year old student studying in 9th class in Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya, Aya Nagar. She has high hopes of becoming a teacher when she grows up. However, her low levels of academic achievement make this future seem bleak for her. She is the eldest of the three sisters, and hence, has to take care of the younger siblings. Her parents can’t afford to send her to good coaching classes, and therefore, she has to manage by herself at home. She is unsure of passing 9th and 10th grades.
Shreya’s mother often feels helpless and sad regarding her daughter’s education. She wants Shreya to do well, achieve her dreams and support herself and the family. But she is also aware of the reality of Shreya’s academic record, which makes her unsure of Shreya’s future.
“I want to help my daughter but I don’t know how to. I can’t understand English, so I am unable to read her textbook. I studied till class 8th only, so I am not well versed or equipped with her syllabus. I keep telling her to study, but I don’t know how much she actually understands and retains”, says, Shreya’s mother, Mrs. Vijay Sharma. Like shreya, we want to help many kids and mothers. We want to raise funds to help mothers.
According to a report by UNESCO, 47 million youth in India dropout of school by 10th grade.
Parents are key stakeholders in ensuring the best possible futures for their children.

Vatsalya is a community project, which runs in the communities of Aya Nagar and Vasant Kunj (New Delhi), to equip mothers to support their children in bringing to life the following vision: Students will be able to reach the best possible future for themselves to become financially independent.
We work with 80 mothers across both the communities in pursuit of improving learning outcomes. We provide structures and methods to the parents to follow at home, in order to increase parent’s engagement with child’s academics, resulting in improved academic outcomes. This is because it is important for students to do well in academics in order to reach their aspired career and goals.
