“Societies reward success but not many teach how to handle & overcome failure”. Hamari Kaksha is a voluntary registered society set up 5 years ago for the upliftment of less privileged children who are socially and economically weak and are living in slums & colonies. It is a class apart having first generation school going as well as non school going children who have either never gone to school or are on the brink of leaving school – the so called dropouts, repeaters, back benchers, branded as hopeless cases by society, school as well as parents.
Started with 17 children, on date there are 150 school going as well as out of school children ranging from beginners to high school classes who come for 3 hours in the evening to develop their cultural, artistic and organizational potential at Govt. Primary School, Sector 7 Chandigarh. It is a community programme run by working women teachers and student volunteers who want to extend beyond their institutes and homes.

  • It is Hamari Kaksha’s endeavor to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate so that they are able to do well in all spheres of life. We view our work as nation building.

    We provide a support home so that they become morally, emotionally and intellectually stronger and do not become victims of crime, abuse and ignorance. By empowering our children with a sound foundation and a rounded personality we hope to make them smarter, happier, more productive members of the society. Our motto is Potential Unlimited where not only is the latent talent of these children explored and tapped but also a platform is provided to the young volunteers to make them socially aware and responsible.
