| About Sakshi |
Sakshi work in the community is focused on Education
and Health. We believe these are areas where the need is the greatest
and direct action is most effective. To us Education is the single
most empowering tool. A catalyst with the ability to change lives
for the better. We work in underprivileged communities to establish
learning centers, libraries, remedial centers, and gives vocational
training. We seek to provide an enabling environment to socially
and economically disadvantaged children to evolve as healthy, self-sufficient,
productive members of society and to help them live a life of their
choice in a healthy way. Thus enabling these children to become
responsible and productive citizens. |
