The organization’s focus has been on enhancing enrolment and quality in primary
education while creating the opportunities for more and more young people to avail
of higher education opportunities. KSS acts as a facilitator to strengthen collaborations
between teachers, academics, institutions and communities such that marginalised
children can access all the government schemes and benefits that they are entitled
to. In addition to enabling access to education, the organization also works on
developing life and leadership skills, career counselling, recognition of good/bad
touch to identify sexual abuse etc.
KSS focuses on education in Hindi especially among those for whom it is not the
native language. This is a means to ensure proper integration and mainstreaming
at a later stage. The organization develops special curriculum for non-Hindi speaking
children and also uses alternative teaching methodologies that go beyond text books
to teach such children. Street children, child labourers, children living in slums
and those who are forced to beg are especially focussed upon in our mainstreaming
efforts.
The organization has also been facilitating intra and inter-state cross cultural
visits, exchange programmes and study tours so that a feeling of national integration,
and an appreciation and respect for other cultures can be nurtured.
In the last 15 years the organization has worked in close association with government
schools on various programmes. 265 out of school girls have been given access to
alternative education as well as been admitted to schools, while 300 drop outs have
been mainstreamed.
