Step School (on going in Mumbai/Pune regions)
ETC has been
funding the Door Step Organization every year since 1999. The
Door Step Organization goes into the slums of India and through
makeshift classrooms provides initial education to kindergarten, first
and second grade children. Additionally, the organization
helps children get admitted to the closest municipal school.
Once admitted into the municipal school, the Door Step Organization
helps the children with the transition, which may include learning the
language spoken at the school. The Door Step Organization helps
the children build a good educational foundation so they have a better
chance of succeeding in the municipal school system.
Number of children being
supported: 214.
