Aarambh Trust was founded in 1996 with the mission to catalyse social and economic change in marginalized communities, with a focus on the rights of underprivileged children and empowerment of women. It was created as a Community Service Centre for providing educational, health and vocational skills to the families living in the slum communities of Navi Mumbai. We currently operate 6 urban and 5 rural centres in Maharashtra, serving approximately 2,000 beneficiaries. In our Vikas project, we aim at setting up a new community centre in the urban slum of Rabale in Navi Mumbai, for families of the migrant workers. The focus will be on educating and building awareness among urban communities about issues relating to the rights and responsibilities concerning their children, themselves and the society they live in. The children that will be supported by our program belong to underprivileged migrant backgrounds, and are typically on the verge of dropping out from their schools. We will provide them with support classes in subjects like Math, English, Science and Computers and cultural activities. They will also receive daily mid-day meals and regular check-ups in Health camps. We plan to conduct awareness programmes to eliminate child labour. Most of the women of these communities are uneducated and unskilled. They are unable to get decently paid jobs/work and are often exploited by their families and the neighbourhood. They are forced into the flesh trade when their husbands abandon them. Parents do not welcome the birth of daughters. Our project will empower girls through education and personality development courses, along with sensitizing the community about gender equality, respect for girls and other such values.
