Learning Centers

One Life Movement’s Learning Centers are educational support systems for underprivileged children. The goal of our learning centers is to assist underprivileged children in their education and to help them complete their schooling with good grades.

While the Government of India has made education for children in government schools mandatory and free, the quality of that education is often suboptimal. We saw that some students who were in the 7th and 8th grade were not even prepared to handle the curriculum of the 5th and 6th grade. To add to the problem, slum-dwelling children come from homes where education is not a priority and parents simply don’t have the time or capability to help their children study. These children need personalized attention and an environment that is conducive to learning. One Life Movement’s Learning Centers fill that vacuum.

At One Life Movement’s Learning Centers, we focus our efforts on providing children with quality education through personalized attention from our teachers. Our teaching staff is dedicated and committed to the cause of setting up our students for success. Patience, perseverance, and a heart for children along with strong teaching skills are the prerequisites for becoming a teacher at our learning centers. We work hard to keep our classrooms bright and clean because we understand the importance of an environment that facilitates learning.

What began as one learning center in Mumbai’s Kadeshwari Devi Nagar Slum has now multiplied into seven learning centers including one in the state of Orissa and one in the Northeastern state of Manipur. We want to continue to expand into the corners of the country so we can propel more children towards a brighter future.
