Chintan runs education programs for children from the waste picking communities in Delhi who do not have any formal education. These programs are run in three different areas of Delhi, namely Takya Kale Khan, Nizamuddin and Chanakyapuri.
Chintan targets children between the ages of 8 and 14, and helps provide them with "bridge classes" to prepare them for joining regular schools, support classes for children attending regular schools, and Bal panchayats to help build self confidence amongst these children. Chintan's goal is to enable these children to phase out of the hazardous occupation of wastepicking by picking up alternative skills and help them secure safer jobs and a better livelihood.
Asha is supporting the education program in the Chanakyapuri area. Asha's grants will be used to provide books and basic stationery to children, provide salaries to teachers and community workers whose goal is to get these children to join Chintan's program, and keep them there.
