We run a Non-governmental organization named Sankalp under our trust UMED (Universal Motivation and Educational Development) education charitable trust. We work for street children who beg, collect garbage, sell balloons, etc on the streets and signals of Mumbai and Pune. We focus more on Paardhi community which is deprived of education and still is 1000 years back from the current generation. We provide these children’s education, food and basic facilities. We at present have more than 70 children with us. The age limit is 2-19 years. Some parents give birth to their kids and marry someone else to those kids we are parents and a home. Many of our children have lost their parents somehow so they are living permanently with us. We also let old people live with us who are unwanted by their children. We want our future generation to consist of all those who can run up the country more beautifully keeping poverty, and food scarcity-like issues in mind.
you just need a right mentor.
Through The Founder’s Lens
UMED - A ray of hope
It was making me more and more curious about them and I finally started a ‘Platform School’ to learn more about these children. So I made a group with my friends who went to small small villages (called as Vasti / Beda ) to find where they belong. I found that all of these children mostly belong to Vidarbha region (some to Wardha, Amravati). I decided to start a proper education centre to change these children, remove them from that dirt. So I came back to Wardha and asked my father to let me start a hostel on his farm. He first rejected and thought I wouldn’t be able to do it but then I was stubborn since childhood I insisted and did whatever it took. I mortgaged my jewellery to form this NGO. I went to counsel children in our vicinity. At the very beginning not everyone ready to let their children study but slowly people started trusting us. In 2016 I had only 18 children, some of them went away, some stayed. But now in 2022 I have 70+ children from all over Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. These are of different caste, culture, places but now we make a home. That’s how it is and we will go forward. Well now my goal is to let these children ask for their rights in our country. Even they should get the same respect as we being an upper caste receive
I just want our future generation to be more supported, sustainable.
