Our work is important because Aakar Foundation School provides children of urban slums with zero cost, first-rate education and basic healthcare facilities. The Foundation does not charge any fee from its beneficiaries. It provides uniforms, books, stationery free of cost yet the quality of education imparted is at par to the other private schools of the city. The Foundation has also spread its wings beyond the school. It has successfully launched and conducted programs that aim to improve the livelihood skills of women and youth of nearby areas, so that they become eligible for better quality jobs. The Foundation also organizes various health camps for everyone in the communities of the areas surrounding the School. We are also engaged in plantation works, awareness about importance of nature as part of environment protection and conducting seminars on social empowerment which helps down trodden and under privileged to attain social justice.
