India is the leading developing country in the world with Delhi as it’s industrial capital and a home for around 3.9 million people living in slums. People from different regions migrate to Delhi in search of food, work and shelter. They think they can earn more in the capital but are not aware of the fact that they are adding up to the already existing unemployed population. This leads to overutilization of limited resources and hence poverty. Children in Delhi are devoid of basic primary education which is a fundamental right.
Many volunteer programs are already running in India to cater to the unsatisfied needs of these people. Lakshyam is one of the organization contributing to the social cause. It opens up ventures for the aspiring people to contribute their efforts towards society. If you have positive intentions and the required artistic skills and talent then Lakshyam is the best place in providing you a platform to volunteer. It believes that “ a candle’s life will not be affected if it enlightens the other candles.”
Volunteers in Lakshyam get a chance to interact with the underprivileged children in Delhi and NCR, Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. Volunteers can choose any of the location and can help the needy children in their primary education. Volunteers can teach children the basic languages like English or Hindi or can assist them with their homework and assignments. They can help in grooming their personality by conducting some vocational workshops like art and craft, dance, music etc. They can engage children in various sports and fun activities to freshen up their minds. Lakshyam promises a holistic experience to it’s volunteers by giving them opportunities to have a deep insight about the lives of these children , living their sorrows and living among them. Lakshyam believes your passion is the key factor to bring a positive change in the society.
The Book and Toy Library by Lakshyam is an initiative for poor kids who can never afford these playthings and are deprived of the pleasures of growing up. The toys and books are collected by approaching the private schools and keeping a plastic box where the students can drop their toys. The entire cost of the library is borne by the organization.
Along with child welfare programs, Lakshyam is working on the women empowerment as a woman is the driving force of the family. Lakshyam provides live skill trainings such as stitching and provides them platform to sell their products in the market and be financially interdependent.
Apart from the physical efforts of the volunteers, interested people in Lakshyam can contribute financially towards the child welfare and women empowerment. They can either contribute a part of their salary towards the cause or can sponsor a Child, Skill Building Workshop, a Lakshyam Center or Lakshyam Toy Library. They can also make donations in monetary terms or in kind. Also, they can place bulk orders for the handcrafted goods by the women.
Lakshyam has been actively working towards the betterment of the migrated, underprivileged and illiterate children and women.
