In our effort to bridge the gap of an inadequate number of schools in the country, the THF has been supporting the construction of schools across states. These schools provide quality education to children from slums, disadvantaged families, orphans, street children and children of laborers who do not have immediate access to schools. Many of these schools also have been provided with residential facilities for children.

There are several marginalized sections of the society where the children are first-generation learners. These children are left out of the mainstream of formal education because of several factors. This void is filled through our Non-Formal Education Programs. This program imparts continuous education to the participants irrespective of their age, sex and educational background. The scope of our NFE programs covers activities ranging from simple memorization to learning of complicated concepts to get them accustomed to the NCERT syllabus.

The Government of India started the Midday Meal Scheme with an aim to increase enrolment of children in schools, retention and boost attendance while also improving nutritional levels among children. With a principle based on the same guidelines, the THF has supported three sizeable midday meal programs. These programs have supplied nutritious meals to 75 schools benefitting more than 10,000 children and dole of these programs have been manifold – from addressing the problem of classroom hunger to increased enrollment, higher attendance, improved social skills among castes, addressed malnutrition and have also led to women empowerment.
