Project Description
SWEET is currently operating 6 balwadis(pre school) in slums and rural-areas in Ambernath. The teachers are chosen from the local community. The children meet from 10am-noon everyday. They are taught the basic marathi alphabet, songs, counting. Along with the education, they are also provided some nutrition.

Their long term objectives are to initiate nutrition and health program for children in slums and rural areas, to initiate remedial education programs for children who are not able to cope with the school syllabus and require special intervention and to have a strong resource and information center.
SWEET was formed in February, 2001 - this was a coming together of like minded professionals who were making efforts towards similar objectives in their individual capacities. They range from fields of social work, education, human rights, engineering, medical sciences, law and business management.
