All of the children in Building Blocks Schools come from extremely poor families. Before coming to Building Blocks most of them would be roaming the streets in very unhygienic conditions or taking care of their younger siblings. In either case they would have hardly any food while their parents, normally construction laborers, would be gone the whole day! Most of our children do not have access to clean water nor hygienic toilet facilities and are thus prone to all kinds of health problems and malnutrition. Most of these children would never have an opportunity to receive a good education as their parents only have one objective: to make enough money to buy food to survive! |
Statistics from NSSO
There are millions of children who lack the chance to receive a basic education. According to a report done by the NSSO's 2007 report on education, the literacy rate in India is 52%. An estimated 38% of children will start 1st grade, only about 15% of which will complete the 5th grade.
Building Blocks is committed to breaking the poverty cycle in India by providing a free, fun-filled, safe, quality kindergarten education and nutritious meals and thus assisting slum children to enter good English medium schools.

Childhood should be a time of fun; warm, loving care of parents; the thrill of learning and discovery; and a wonderful growing process where a child will learn all he needs to know to become a caring, helpful person in society. Unfortunately for millions of slum children in India, childhood is filled with neglect, sadness, poverty and lost opportunities to learn so many wonderful things and lessons.
Building Blocks is an organization that works for the betterment of slum children by providing a wonderful, well-rounded education enabling them to be on par with other middle and upper-class children. We need and greatly appreciate your donations which will change the lives of these children and give them the opportunity to be caring, productive members of society. Read More...

Child sponsoring is the beginning of a unique relationship between you and a child, which can transform the future for both. Your support can give a needy child, life's essentials like food, education, basic health care and immunization.
Sponsorship provides a 'sense of security' and ' sense of belonging' to a child, and in return you will get the satisfaction of investing for a better India. We give utmost importance towards education of the children in the selected slum area.
We believes that only good education can make the children confident and self-reliable. Your help can change the future of an young adult. Read More ...
Welcome To Building Blocks
Building Blocks is a kindergarten program to give slum children a good foundation in English language, arithmetic, general science, social and practical life skills at an early age of 3½ years through a very structured curriculum. Since these children would not get an opportunity to go to any early learning course due to economic difficulties we have been able to do this totally free through the help of philanthropic sponsors.
