In January of this year, we opened a beauty skills centre for the women of the community. This is to teach the ladies new skills and make them more independent.
In this centre, we have employed the mother of one of our ex students.
In the first 6 months, the ladies learnt the basic and now many of them are doing well and have started earning after learning this new skill.
In the month of September, the first batch completed level one ( basic of beauty course)
India’s ancient system of education and the New Education Policy talks about Panchkosha, the five dimensions of a child’s development. Education which fosters holistic development and goes beyond academics is what builds WHOLE child.
At project WHY we create a leaning environment which offers opportunity to every child, irrespective of their age, to identify/explore, develop and build their interests, skills and talents. We do not limit our work to after school academic education. We know that children will grow
Every Saturday is devoted to extra curricular activities. Children engage in activities of their choice. Painting, drawing, dancing, singing, gardening, reading, board games, debates, discussions, theatre are all given equal importance. Building communication skills, learning social etiquettes, imbibing moral values is an integral part of our wholesome education.
All this is done against the wishes and desires of most of the parents. To them, education is about learning from school books and getting good grades. We are still facing lot of opposition to the concept of holistic education. Not being discouraged, our team of educators have continued their efforts to facilitate holistic learning. WE DO WHAT WE STRONGLY BELIVE IN.
The result of Project WHY’s efforts is visible through the achievements of our children who have been regularly receiving acknowledgement for their performance in both academic and extra curricular.

“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.” wrote Frederick Douglass. At Project Why we strive to instill the love of reading in all our students.
That is why we have a library period where children can go look at books, feel them, browse hem and be motivated to read them
