Child Development Programs
Thrive India loves, feeds, cares for and teaches tangible life skills to over 200 children of all ages in 5 different locations. These slums are large communities consisting of buildings made from corrugated sheets, insufficient water and restroom facilities, limited garbage disposal and sparse electricity. Yet out of this environment, there is hope for these children. They learn basic hygiene, computer skills, reading and writing, tutoring for school and how to care for their community as they grow.
Goal:
5000 children from the slums participating in the program.

Computers, hourly pay for workers running these programs and rent for small buildings to house the different classes in the slums. $50 can support 5 children in the development program for a month.
