Challenge

Most of the children at SUKRUPA are first-generation students born to young parents who are unskilled laborers who migrate from rural poverty to cities in search of livelihood and end up settling in slums.As they struggle for basic survival, education is not a priority. Even if children are sent to school, teenage drop out is quite common. This results in girls becoming young mothers at the age of 13 or 14 and boys a burden on a family's meager income.

Long-Term Impact

SUKRUPA's Vision is of a world where all the underprivileged and marginalized children and young people, especially girls and young women are empowered through education, skills development and entrepreneurship to become responsible citizens participating in and contributing to global peace. Educating a girl is Educating a Village.Completing High School and moving to college to finish University Degree is the key to a better life and better future and to integrate confidently in global community
