Education for children in Slams

Your Zakat and numerous food parcels have reached the people of Mumbai. We are very happy to have helped so many people. Thanks to your donations, people were provided with the most necessary food for several weeks. For many families, this help is essential for survival.

The emergency situation in India remains great. Several million people live in slums here. In Mumbai alone, there are over 1,000 slums with an estimated 5 million people. A large proportion of these are children. Living conditions there are extremely difficult due to a lack of infrastructure, sanitary facilities, limited access to healthcare and education, and child labor is widespread.

Seeing the conditions on the ground takes its toll on us. Just like the smiles of the people living in these conditions. During our missions, we often ask ourselves whether we would still be able to smile under similar circumstances. Hardly. We learn joy and friendliness from people living in abject poverty. This cannot be taken for granted in a life with a difficult daily routine and no prospects for the future.

Together, we want to continue to help improve the lives of people in India – both in their everyday lives by providing the necessary goods and in the long term by promoting education. Educational projects that offer today’s children prospects for a better tomorrow are already being planned. And even if the number of people in need is alarmingly high, every improved life counts. And every long-term improvement is multiplied by improving the living conditions of families and even communities.
