Sahyog conducts non-formal education for 3 kinds of children. There is pre-school kids who go to a balwadi, there are school dropouts, and then there are school going kids. In addition to the regular education, a lot of emphasis is placed on the power of play to help heal the children, many of whom have been witness to horrifying scenes.
Reintegration of children into formal education institutions, facilitation of utilities and adequate living conditions, formation of various mandals (women, youth, etc), and therapeutic projects and events for children to aid in their coping abilities.
Sahyog is a non-profit, secular, non-government organization in existence since November 2000. Since inception it has worked consistently for development of weaker sections of society and upliftment of urban poor. Prior to this, the founder trustees have had twenty years experience in developmental work and have come together to concentrate at grassroots-level change. In the last two years, Sahyog has evolved a unique working methodology to address social issues through development activities. The target group has mainly been the inhabitants of city-based and peripheral settlements (�slums�) who primarily earn by selling their labour
