Education and Vocational training empowers children from lesser privileged backgrounds to acquire skills that make them more employable. One educated person pulls at least four people around him/her out of poverty and deprivation. It is important to identify deserving children at a young age(13-14 years of age) when they are more impressionable,positive and self-driven. Providing financial support & counseling throughout their education (till they graduate) gives them a sense of belonging and keeps them focused.
