STUDY/RESEARCH PROJECT

by JNU Doctoral Students

Quote- “For all children to have an equal chance to make the most of their potential, innovation must also meet the needs and advance the rights of those who have the least. In the light of this unfolding context, Ankur Computer Center (ACC) has positioned itself to provide a fair chance in discovering the potential of children from Delhi’s most deprived sections and making computer education accessible to them. It has stepped aside from the voluntary organizations usual mode of basic engagement with the children to a courageous approach of bringing technology within the easy reach of the children from the slums."

Dear donors,

Thanks again to everyone who's suppored Project Ankur so far.

This month our kids have grown from strength to strength, by participating in our inaugural debate day. Navigating tricky topics such as capital punishment, village vs city life, and arts vs science stream, our debaters bravely argued in both English and Hindi. We may have some young politicians in the making!

We also hosted more volunteers who've developed Ankur's first English curriculum and new marketing materials to help us grow on the international stage as well.
Plans to buy a sewing machine for the centre have generated a lot of interest among girls, including those who are yet to join Ankur. We hope that this could be their pathway into education.

Once again, we thank you for your support, it really does continue to make a difference in the lives of these young people each day.

Hello donor,

We are immensely grateful for the help you have extended in raising funds to keep us afloat.

Your donation not just helps us provide them with education but also provides a way to get deeper in their lives and see the possible areas of improvement, and that in turn helps us provide them with better solutions and makes a greater impact in bringing about lasting change.

Project Ankur has just completed 4 years and have gone from 30 to 300 students as of September 2018.

We would request you to spread the word and help us keep these slums kids off the streets and in school. We truly are grateful for your partnership.

Being able to give the children more relevant books to read and book racks to accommodate them in the library through the support of our donors and partners have been a blessing. Encouraging everyone to come visit and help spread the word. Every little bit helps.
Thank you again, Project Ankur appreciates all the support and help!
