alvitofernandez@gmail.comMost children attending school receive some form of support outside school, either from parents at home or through tuition classes.
For children whose parents cannot provide this form of support, schooling becomes difficult and sometimes impossible, especially in middle and high school. HCNF has initiated a direct implementation project in a settlement in Visharantwadi, Pune.
Support classes are run for science and mathematics, by a trained teacher appointed by HCNF. At present, about 33 children from the settlement are attending these classes regularly, with many others dropping in from time to time.
