No Unreachable or Unteachable Child

Aasraa’s Street Smart program is designed to prepare first-generation learners and out-of-school children—including beggars, ragpickers, and children from migrant families—for entry into mainstream education. These children often come from below-poverty-line households and have never attended school before. Through engaging, age-appropriate lessons in Hindi, English, Math, and Environmental Science, and using Computer-Aided Learning and interactive materials, children are supported over a year-long preparatory course.
The program also provides a crèche for younger siblings, nutritious meals, and medical care, ensuring every child is ready to learn and thrive.

Bridging the Learning Gap

Wings of Doon ensures that students enrolled in regular schools—especially those from slum
communities—don’t fall behind. By offering daily academic tutorials, homework help, and
conceptual learning, the program reinforces classroom teaching and builds strong academic foundations. It also provides technology-integrated resources, digital literacy training, nutritious snacks, safe transportation, and school supplies.

A Place of Hope and Healing

Aasraa’s Residential Care Homes offer a safe, stable environment for children who are homeless, abandoned, disabled, or victims of abuse. Beyond protection, the homes provide nutrition, health care, emotional healing, and access to education. Co-curricular activities like art, sports, music, and life skills workshops enrich the children’s lives and foster personal growth.

Margins to Mainstream; Education for All

Once equipped with foundational skills, children are transitioned into formal education via enrollment in Government, Government-aided, or partner schools. Aasraa’s Mainstreaming Program ensures children continue their learning journey successfully by supporting schools withinfrastructure, labs, teacher training, and more.
Through the School Quality Enhancement Program (SQEP), Aasraa has partnered with the
Uttarakhand Education Department to improve 19 government and aided schools, while also
working with other private and public schools for seamless mainstreaming.

Cerebral Palsy, Intellectual Disability, Visual/Aural Impairments, and more.

The center offers individualized learning, therapies, medical care, and emotionalsupport in a safe and inclusive environment.
