Established in 2004, Lakshyam is a social
enterprise that uplifts children and women of at-risk communities
through education, employment and resource mobilization.
‘Lakshyam Toy Library’ is one of the main programs of Lakshyam that distributes toys and books from the privileged children to the not-so-privileged ones. Toy Boxes are set up in several private schools in Delhi and each child donates a toy and/or book that are then delivered to the 13 tie-up Centers/NGOs across 11 states. Lakshyam Toy Library Centers have been opened in the rural districts of states like Delhi, Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Schools like Mother’s International School, Delhi Public School and Laxman Public School have carried out the collection drives of toys & books at their respective campuses.
Butterfly:
Child Welfare and Education’ program has been designed, keeping in view
the two integral building blocks of a healthy child, Development &
Participation. The Remedial Education Center based at the Basti (slum)
adopted by Lakshyam, JJ Basti in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi provides an
education encompassing textual knowledge and personality development.
The children have attended various workshops at venues like Oxford
Bookstore, given dance performances at venues like Kingdom of Dreams and
at colleges like Kamala Nehru College and DCAC. They recently visited
RashtrapatiBhawan on the 14th of November ’14 and met the Hon’ble
President of India as well.
The third main program of Lakshyam,
‘Rooh: Awakening Women’s Soul’ focuses on creating an environment
conducive for women from the not-so-privileged communities. Theprogram
imparts skill-building training and teaches the art of sewing, cutting,
stitching and embroidery to women, thus creating opportunities for
income enhancement. Focus is also on issues affecting the lives of
women, like health & hygiene education, basic civic sense
etc.Lakshyam’s product line of handmade products that are crafted and
created by the women and adolescents are put up on various online
portals, exhibitions and stalls at reputed venues like Bora Bora, Maruti
Suzuki Fest and Jamia University Fest among others.
Besides the three main programs of
Lakshyam, various health camps and community developmentactivitiesare
carried out, in order to bring about long-lasting improvements in the
compromised communities undertaken by Lakshyam, in urban and rural
environments. Our next coming program is a two-fold initiative of
recycling waste paper and producing free of cost notebooks for promoting
education.
All the programs are supported by various corporates, colleges and schools along with several local and international volunteers & interns
that make for an all-round team. The supporters from various walks of
