A quarter of a million of Delhi’s children are living in slums or on the streets and do not go to school.
Yes We Can flagship Education programme derives its rationale from these startling figures.The aim is facilitate the all-round development of children from underprivileged families by providing them quality academic and extra-curricular education at an affordable cost.
Good health is a precursor to a good education and a financially independent life. But while a privileged few are willing and able to afford home check-ups and expensive treatments, most of the people living in semi-urban and rural areas are complete strangers to professional health care practices.
With this in mind, Yes We Can launched the Community Health programme, a multi-faceted project that focuses on establishing sustainable practices and spreading awareness regarding preventive and promotive health among the rural masses.
Imagine living your life on the streets, with no idea where your next meal will come from. Imagine being so afraid that you feel you have no choice but to run away from home.
The programme is run by Yes We Can and seeks to provide shelter, care, homely atmosphere and a dignified life to children from difficult circumstances like street and run-away children, victims of child abuse, children of lifetime convicts, -Ve children of HIV/ AIDS +Ve parents, children of sex workers, and other vulnerable categories.
Yes We Can strongly believes that women should have equal socio-economic, cultural and political opportunities as men. With this ideology in mind, a successful attempt was made to achieve a 50:50 ratio for both genders at all our formal schools.
While doing research, it was discovered that gender discrimination was rampant in Mewat, a district of Haryana. Not only were the women in the region uneducated and unemployed, but were also given no say in the decision making processes that included them and their family.
Yes We Can is an NGO that strongly believes that differently-abled children can learn to lead a normal life if they have effective access to services like early identification, intervention, education, vocational training, employment opportunities and the availability of aids and appliances.
Vocational education is education that prepares people to work in a trade, a craft, as a technician, or in professional vocations such as engineering, accountancy, nursing, medicine, architecture, or law.
Women Empowerment itself elaborates that Social Rights, Political Rights, Economic stability, judicial strength and all other rights should be also equal to women. There should be no discrimination between men and woman. Women should now there fundamental and social rights which they get once they born.
Global hunger is increasing every year and it’s really sad to see. Today in India we can see 19 crore Indians sleep hungry every night and 25 lakh citizens die out of hunger every year. 38% of children below five years are underweight and under height because of no nutrition provided to them.
