The Sparsha Story

Sparsha started its journey 25 years ago by educating children of migrant workers on pavements and has since evolved to provide integrated child and community development.

Sparsha model requires it to work in an integrated manner with communities, children and their parents. Sparsha’s team, therefore, consists of a good mix of teachers, community workers (animators) and volunteers, many of them from the communities themselves.

Our Mission: Sparsha is committed to the integrated development of children from marginalised families through center-based quality remedial education, robust parental support, healthcare programs and active engagement of their communities and schools
