In informal urban settlements like East Nathu Colony and Shahdara, children of daily-wage waste pickers face systemic educational exclusion. Parents often work 12-hour shifts sorting recyclables, making regular schooling difficult without dedicated community support.
Foundational Learning in Action Waste Pickers Welfare Foundation operates non-formal bridge education centres specifically designed to meet these children where they are. Our educators focus on foundational numeracy, Hindi and English reading, and conceptual clarity.
Through individualized tracing workbooks and peer-learning study circles, students who previously had zero formal schooling acquire fundamental reading and arithmetic skills within months.
