Education for 1000 slum children in Goa

Dear wonderful supporters,

We are truly grateful to all our donors, sponsors and supporters who remain committed to supporting us going forward who have supported us through this difficult times.  We are happy to present the report “Education for 1000 slum children” before our supporters. 

Since June 2021 El Shaddai continued providing meals to the underprivileged children and marginalized people, vulnerable families, children and individuals, empowering destitute women and men and also providing education especially to the children who are facing shortages of food and shelter, medicines, hygiene kits and education.

Education is an essential component and fundamental rights of all children in India. It enhances their skills, personality and attitude. It is the foundation upon which we build our future. It is the only way by which a desired change and upliftment in the society can be achieved.

Currently we are running 39 slum schools namely at Margao, Calangute, Panjim and Vasco across the state of Goa.  Slum outreach programme identifies homeless beneficiaries across the major cities and slums of Goa and provides educational facilities and Community health camps for the slum children and women. Outreach workers visit the children’s families and mobilize to send the children to school. Awareness program on the value of education was conducted for the children from slums.

During this emergency we continued educating more than one thousand slum children about safety measures like wearing masks, social distancing, and washing hands from time to time and still continue to teach about safety measures.  In order to increase academic proficiency and to reduce dropout rate our trained teachers continued with the basic education. Our focus is to provide children with the opportunity to learn and develop. So, they can grow up to be an integral and healthy part of their communities. Parents and children are happy to have this slum school class since they don’t have to worry about their children’s education during COVID-19.

El Shaddai has ensured daily sustenance for the children and people, making sure no one has to sleep on an empty stomach.

If you would still like to regularly engage in this Endeavour, we encourage you to support our other projects on globalgiving for a small amount, which will go a long way in giving a bright future to the beneficiary.
