India is at the same time one of the countries with the highest growth rate in the world and the one where the number of underprivileged is the largest. In a society where women and children suffer from discrimination, hard labour, poor living conditions and see their freedom damaged on a daily basis, NGO Lakshyam stands as an actor of change. As every child grows up with a dream but not everyone has access to the same tools or environment, Lakshyam takes action in rural and underprivileged areas to give those children and women an opportunity to have a brighter future. With multiple centres set up in the slums and villages of metropolitan cities across India, the deprived women and children have a place full of hope where to go and are being extracted from exhausting rag-picking or begging duties.
Education is the mechanism that enables children to assimilate all the moral, social and emotional principles that allow them to integrate properly into the society. It helps them to develop necessary physical and intellectual skills. In order to give them a chance to have a place in society and make better use of all their potential, Lakshyam fosters the children’s inherited skills by providing a basic educational development and bridging the gap between them and future schools. Through remedial classes and comprehensive learning, free of cost tutorials or collected study material from contributors (books, stationery) around the cities, the NGO accompanies children who never had access to education. In the same way, the betterment of the quality of their life goes through a personal well-being and personality development which Lakshyam aims to fulfil by exposing them to recreational activities in many different areas such as arts, music and sports. Through the organisation of events inside the centres on important national days as well as for the most important celebrations in India, these days become memorable for the children. Moreover, as they never saw another environment than their communities, outings and sightseeing tours around the cities (cultural and recreational) such as parks, monuments etc. are organised. Lakshyam allows the children to breathe new air while discovering places with better conditions and being filled with happiness. Thanks to punctual contributions/donations from private individuals, companies, schools, the collection of; for instance; warm clothes, has helped many children and women to survive during the cold winter and made them able to keep them for the following years.
In most of the rural areas and villages, women are seen as an economic liability and are seeing their rights being misused. Education and skill training are two of the powerful tools in the liberation and the empowerment of women. In order to remedy it, Lakshyam has set up several training centres in which they are taught manual work and sellable skills as a way to independency and feeling of fulfilment. The trainings are provided by professionals in different manual areas such as sewing, stitching, bag making or products made out of recycled materials to help women developing useful skills. Through a network of shops and institutions, those products are sold to customers who support these families. In this way, the NGO offers proactive initiatives through well-organised workshops based on easily marketable skills aiming to give women a self-employment capacity as well as a financial independency. Moreover, without education and forced to live in poor conditions, women never got access to knowledge about their own health and way of behaving regarding this important issue. Lakshyam supports these women through workshops on menstrual hygiene and spreads regular awareness about healthcare in order to prevent potential diseases or irremediable consequences.
Thanks to Lakhshyam’s women and children development target, the life of many individuals has been changed and their dreams fulfilled. The NGO tries to provide all necessary aid through its internal programs, volunteering system, and external contributions.
