Description of the organization (Organization’s work, mission, issues, focus, current programmes and accomplishment):

We, at Towards Future, want to live up to the sanctified standards of the right to Universal Education. In this, we eager to partner those poverty-stricken children and their families whose financial destitution denies them the profits of literacy. We also try to bring focus on question of elementary health and hygiene. To this purpose we have identified following focus areas — a) Provide Pre-school/Primary-school education; b) Support centre for students till Standard X. c) Provide specialized support to generate awareness on health and hygiene.

We also understand that Universal Education cannot be achieved without advances in women’s empowerment. Towards Future has programs which affirmatively impacts women by providing basic awareness programs on education and health. We believe in the abilities of an empowered woman and her positive role in family life. Our vision of education for all also includes the children of migratory workers at brick kilns.
