A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?
Scrap picking and selling - this is the only thing their life revolves around. The time in the morning when all other children go to schools, these children go to pick scrap lying on the streets. By selling this scrap a 6-7 years aged child earns about70-100 rupees per day. This amount of money is more than enough for them to spend their life in eating, fighting and roaming on roads making noise only. According to them they are earning money without being educated so what is the need of education for them. Going to school is wastage of their important time which they utilize in earning living for them. Their parents also don’t want to send them to school at the time when they go to earn money for their families. The need is to educate them as per their suitability and requirements.
A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja objetivo!
Our solution is not only to teach them but also to create the need of education in their lives. First thing we did was to convince the elders of the society for the school to their children. Then we decided to run the classes in the evening when they don’t need to go to work at all. Another decision we took was to teach them somewhere near to their home so that going far for education could not become an excuse for them to not to go to school. Now it was challenge for us to keep them motivated to come to school regularly. These children didn’t know anything. Their IQ level was nil. They used to quarrel and abuse each other even in front of us. They did not take bath daily. They did not brush their teeth daily. In the beginning it was difficult for us to make them silent and listen to us. But, gradually implementing daily something new and interesting in the classes we could be able to tackle all these initial challenges for us. They started coming daily and listening to us carefully.
O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias
Our model is first to create the classes interesting to them. If they find it interesting they would be regular in coming. Next step is to sync their learning with their life so that eventually they will know the importance of education in their lives and will do efforts by themselves to go to school.
By using the traditional methods of teaching it is not possible to create the interest in the classes. So we use methods like stories, games, drawing, dance, music etc. In all the methods we emphasize mainly to make their involvement. For example, while telling a story we make different roles and involve children to play those roles; then ask questions from the stories, make them curious for many things. We arrange small competitions and award the best performances. To give them exposure we invite other people to celebrate their children’s b’day with them. We go to small trips like visiting malls. We tell them about personal hygiene in order to avoid diseases such as fever and cholera.
After completing the teaching course, we have a plan to give them some technical training that can help them to start their own profession in future. For example, for big girls of the society we have started providing sewing training.
Overall through Udaan, we do not only want to teach them but strive to make them good citizens. With the help of other groups we provide facilities like medical chekup, teeth checkup, eye checkup. We dream to make them persons who can live their life in a better way by contributing in growth of the development of the country.

Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?
We don’t have any competitors. Yes many groups which are supporting our project are as our peers. Although we don’t face any challenges given by competitors or peers, we have another kinds of challenges posed to us in running our project. Now-a-days many groups are helping us, but we need more steady sources of funds. Also, as more slum children are approaching us to enroll them, we need more space to accommodate all of them.

IMPACTO SOCIAL
Temas relacionados à inscrição
Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?
About 120 children of the society have been impacted by this project. Intially due to their unhygienic life style they used to face ignorance of other people but now this does not happen to them. Their parents and head of the society have also appreciated us by saying that we have changed the face of the society completely.
Till now the results of our activities are as follows:
• Now students come to the classes regularly
• They have started cleaning teeth and taking bath daily
• They now ask questions in class
• They don’t quarrel with each other
• Their parents told us that at home also they live well. They help their brother and sisters.
• Many children have started teaching their parents and elder brothers and sisters
• Head of the society told us that Udaan changed the environment of whole society
• Other groups have starting calling Udaan children in activities like dance competition, drawing compitition
Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?
The society in which Udaan is currently being run is having about four hundred children. Due to our limitation of space and funds, to start off the project we had taken only about 120 children based on age criteria. So, our next milestone is first to take all the students from the current society. And, after that we want to target other similar slum areas of Saharanpur. There are four such societies in Saharanpur itself. Four societies mean about 1000 children. So, our target is - in next 1-3 years we will be having setups which can accommodate all thousand children of the city.
Our next step would be to give them some technical training that can help them to start their own profession in future. For example, for big girls of the society we have started providing sewing training.

From Ajay Singhal:
Since last few years, on seeing small children working at those hours when other children go to school, I used to feel upset. This process of being upset increased day by day and I used to feel some restlessness all the time. This restlessness made me feel an urge to do something for those children. And that urge of doing something compelled me to know everything about a slum of scrap picking people on the way to my office. The outcome of my survey and the discussions with the heads of that society is as follows:
* All generations in the society are illiterate
* The time when schools open in the morning is the critical time when their children go to their work of picking scrap so that by selling it they earn living for them and family. They don’t feel education is so necessary that it be given priority over their work
* About 400 children live in the society
I got the children for whom I could do something instead of being grieved only. This all started Udaan.
SUSTENTABILIDADE
Por favor, explique de que forma o estabelecimento de parcerias é importante para o sucesso de sua inovação
For now, different social groups are helping us in different needs. For example, one group provides clothes, shoes to the needy children. One group which works on imparting training to teachers, also visits us and supports our project.
Qual o perfil da equipe (colaboradores, voluntários etc.) que vai garantir o cumprimento das metas de crescimento identificadas por você na seção ‘Impacto Social’?
Our team is mainly composed of volunteers. Computer engineers, teachers, house wives. These persons save some hours from their schedule to work with us. Also, we have hired some staff to run the classes.
Fale mais sobre as necessidades ou ofertas que você selecionou anteriormente e/ou sugira categorias de apoio que não foram listadas
Needs: Currently, we run the classes in tin shade on rooftop of a temple. This arrangement causes problem in conditions like rain, winter etc. So, the main need of the project is a building to run the school.
Offers: As we have been successfully running the classes for last one year, we can offer our innovative methods, ideas, experiences to other novice groups.
