ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Samagra Vikas is a dedicated initiative aimed at tackling the educational and health challenges confronting migrant children in Bawana, Delhi, and Noida, NCR. Our comprehensive approach centers on three main pillars: establishing Learning Resource Centers (LRCs), implementing bridge intervention programs, and nurturing social-emotional learning (SEL) alongside adolescent health and nutrition initiatives. By prioritizing education, well-being, and resilience, we directly intend to impact the lives of over 5000 children and adolescents. Through the establishment of LRCs, we provide access to modern educational resources and technology, facilitating tailored learning experiences. Our bridge intervention programs address academic gaps and life skills development, ensuring holistic growth. Furthermore, we emphasize SEL to foster emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Simultaneously, our adolescent health and nutrition initiatives offer vital education, healthcare access, and menstrual equity, empowering marginalized youth. If you share our commitment to driving positive change and improving outcomes for underserved communities, Samagra Vikas offers a meaningful opportunity to effect lasting transformation.

Since its inception in 2004, LAMP has impacted 1.35 million children at risk of distress seasonal migration through access to quality education opportunities; and steered 5,238 villages across 17 States and Union Territories across India to eliminate obstacles to quality education.
