Relief & Community Care

Nourishment and Learning Equity for School children

Objective: Enhance daily nutrition and digital learning for schoolchildren, ensuring holistic growth and improved academic outcomes.

In partnership with Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandir, Bulandshahr, Saksham Trust has introduced a structured nutrition routine by providing milk and fruits alongside the establishment of a fully equipped digital classroom, with the objective of enhancing both health and learning outcomes for schoolchildren. This integrated approach has led to noticeable improvements in attentiveness, classroom participation, and attendance, while also reflecting positively in academic results where children’s average marks have risen and weight gains have been recorded, indicating better overall well-being. By ensuring that every child receives nutritious food, the foundation for a healthy mind and a brighter future is being laid, where learning is not just possible but joyful. Teachers and parents alike report higher motivation and readiness for learning among students, demonstrating the value of combining nutrition assurance with modern teaching methods. The initiative aligns strongly with the Government of India’s POSHAN Abhiyaan objectives and complements the Digital India vision for modern, inclusive education at the school level.

Health & Dignity For All

Ensuring Healthy Vision in Rural and Elderly Population

Objective: Increase access to preventive and corrective eye-care for elderly residents in peri-urban and rural areas.

Saksham Trust, in collaboration with Ramakrishna Mission’s Vivekananda Netralaya, Dehradun, is working to increase access to preventive and corrective eye care for elderly residents in peri-urban and rural areas. An OPD facility has been established, equipped with advanced diagnostic technologies to ensure precise examinations and timely referrals. This initiative has led to early detection of vision issues, improved treatment adherence, and a reduction in avoidable vision impairment among seniors. By extending community-level access to quality eye care, the program directly advances the goals of the National Programme for Control of Blindness & Visual Impairment (NPCBVI).

Empowering Through Education

Bridging Educational Gaps for Children from Disadvantaged Backgrounds

Objective: Provide structured education and holistic development for children with regular access to schooling, including child domestic workers.

Saksham Trust, in partnership with GoodWorks Trust, Noida, is committed to providing structured education and holistic development opportunities for children with irregular access to schooling, including those engaged as child domestic workers. The program delivers grade-appropriate academic support, daily nutritious meals, and regular yoga and wellness sessions to nurture both mental and physical well-being. To ensure continuity in learning, additional tutoring is provided to help students remain on academic track. This intervention has strengthened school retention, enhanced learning outcomes, and built psychosocial resilience among vulnerable children. The initiative further reinforces the objectives of the Right to Education (RTE) Act and aligns with the Government’s Samagra Shiksha framework for inclusion and sustained access to quality education.

Livelihoods & Women Empowerment

Women’s Livelihoods:Sustainable Empowerment

Objective: Enable economic independence for women from underserved communities through skill building and income generation.

Saksham Trust, in partnership with Sakha Ek Pahal, Noida, empowers women by providing training in crochet craft and other handicrafts, coupled with access to markets and enterprise support. This intervention allows women to create high-quality handmade products that generate sustainable income, enhancing both household resilience and community dignity. Beyond livelihood creation, the programme has also extended impact to animal welfare, with women supporting the care of stray dogs in need. The initiative aligns national priorities on rural livelihoods and women’s economic empowerment.

Livelihoods & Women Empowerment

Digital Inclusion : Skilling for Employability

Objective: Promote digital literacy and employability for marginalized youth and adults through community-based training centers.

Saksham Trust has established dedicated digital skilling centers at accessible locations such as Chhutmalpur and Ambheta to build essential 21st-century skills. Through structured training modules, individuals are equipped with digital competencies, job-ready skills, and entrepreneurship guidance. By combining practical training with mentorship, the program enables participants to access formal employment or pursue independent livelihoods. This initiative directly complements government objectives for digital inclusion and the Skill India mission, bridging socio-economic gaps in employability.

Empowering Through Education

Education Access: Quality Learning & Hostel Support

Objective: Provide quality education and holistic care to underprivileged children from remote areas through residential facilities.

In partnership with PYDS (Purkhal Youth Development Society), Dehradun, Saksham Trust supports the Navjeevan residential program, which extends learning opportunities to children facing geographic and socio-economic barriers. The project offers a secure hostel facility, structured academic support, and comprehensive care including wellness programs, life skills development, and emotional well-being support. This integrated model strengthens educational continuity, empowers children to envision brighter futures, and bridges systemic inequalities in access to quality schooling. The initiative reinforces the Right to Education and national goals for inclusive child development.
