Education
IWC foundation is committed to providing basic education and healthcare to underprivileged children. IWC Foundation believes that whether you are addressing healthcare, poverty, population control, unemployment or human rights, there's no better place to start than in the corridors of education.
Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life; means, because it empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one's awareness on a range of issues - from healthcare to appropriate social behavior to understanding one's rights, and in the process evolve as a better citizen.
IWC Foundation's educational initiatives include Pre-school (3-6 yrs), Non Formal Education (6-14 yrs non-school going), Remedial Education (6-14 yrs school going) and Bridge Course (14-18 yrs drop-outs). It works for education for needy children who are under difficult circumstances, such as child labour, children of poorest of the parents, children inflicted and affected with HIV/AIDS, street and runaway children, children with rare disabilities, disaster struck children and slum children. Special emphasis is given on girl education and women education, so that they and their families get empowered.
Since its inception in 2002, more than 10,000 children have directly benefitted from the various IWC foundation Education programme.
