Bandepalya Learning Centre

A collaboration with Stree Jagruti Samiti (SJS) and the Domestic Workers Rights Union (DWRU), the Bandepalya centre has catered to twenty children over the last three years. We have seen a consistent participation from children and they have truly taken ownership of the space. The older children take the lead in the activities and also aid the facilitator in engaging the smaller learners in activities.

The feedback from both the parents and children has been exceptional and we’ve observed that the children are very happy at the centre. The facilitator has built an excellent rapport with the children here and there is a deep mutual trust between them. Children’s performances in school have been improving and the parents have noted a lot of behavioural change in the children particularly with respect to their language and anger.
