Sowing The Seed of Possibilities With Each Step
Hamara Footpath is a voluntary organisation that offers holistic education to children of the weak and underprivileged sections of the society. With a team of 19 core members and 12+ volunteers, the organisation executes over 20 academic and non- academic programs that encompass education in English, Math, Life Skills, Financial Competence, Computer Literacy etc.
The Footpath Story
Initiated due to the relentless determination of a group of college friends, Hamara Footpath is a story that started on the pavements of Mumbai, in 2001. When, with a passion for empowering, and making a difference, the young men would take to the streets to teach its eager dwellers.
Today, some 18 years later, and with the help of an equally motivated team, Hamara Footpath has made meaningful impact on many hundreds of lives within the underprivileged sector. The transformative stories of the lives of the children and families continue to inspire the entire organisation and offer numerous more beneficiaries the hope for radical improvement in their own life circumstances.
Our programmes are highly intensive and engaging. We see a lot of transformation in the students and their families lives. Since we have multiple programmes running we see a big qualitative curve in their lives as so many aspects are being worked on simultaneously. The idea remains to make them educated, financially independent and over all good human beings.
