the power of partnership : collaborating for change  with Pehchaan The Street School


Situated in the heart of the country, Pehchaan The Street School hopes to change the current

scenario where accessibility to education remains limited. They have been working since 2015 in the

regions around Delhi-NCR to uplift underprivileged children by providing them with basic education

free of cost. Such children benefit from the street school approach. Giving knowledge through a

street school method provides accessibility, making the process more effective and grounded.

Here, at Pehchaan The Street School, the children are prompted to give themselves the freedom to

investigate and cherish parts of childhood. All these experiences may not be possible under normal

circumstances for these children. These typical circumstances include unstable financial conditions

and insufficient social support to achieve a basic human right like education. Such backgrounds

deprive children of the education and character-building qualities they require. They are further

pushed into earning a livelihood, snatching away their chance to pursue their dreams. Pehchaan The

Street School cares for and addresses these major drawbacks that children of Delhi slums face. It

offers classes in 11 centers across Delhi-NCR, which provide basic math, reading, art, music, and

vocational courses such as computer courses, etc. These subjects make sure the child is well-versed

with the primary topics. Apart from the academic sphere, children are given an opportunity to find

out their fields of interest and polish their skills. Extra-curricular activities further boost the

confidence of a child and help them establish themselves in society.

Pehchaan The Street School is a Non-Government Organisation, therefore, it depends upon the

donors, volunteers, and contributory donations from the masses. All funds related to such activities,

workshops, partnerships and seminars are obtained from donors, hence, this type of donors turns

out to be quite essential that bring into reality the education and life underprivileged children

deserve the most. Donations cannot be tagged as large or small. Each donation can bring one step

closer to a child's dream. There are many reasons for donating, and for most people, it's a very

personal decision. Here are just a few reasons why you should give:

We all have that one cause that resonates with us, often rooted in personal experiences that can

inspire others to take action. Perhaps a charity’s mission resonates with you because you feel

strongly about the people they are helping. At Pehchaan The Street School, it is recognized that

children are the future and every child deserves a childhood with the liberty to dream and the tools

to acquire them.

You can make a difference. Every charity, no matter how small or big it is, makes a difference when

you decide to donate. Monetary contributions, direct or indirect, help them carry out their crucial

work thanks to the good-hearted people. And when you donate for a child's future, you'll know that

your decision to donate is making a tangible impact on their lives. And one can see how it changes

life for the child. Also, it is very important to understand that no matter what you give, it counts.

Whether or not a single donation, regular giving, or fundraising for charity, your gift counts. Every

gift received sums up and works to get to work and make a positive difference.

Society and governments are not designed to protect all those who need it. That is why welfare

organizations like Pehchaan The Street School are here to fill the gaps and provide dedicated

resources to help the most vulnerable.

Monetary contributions could be one of the easiest ways of playing an art in the reforming initiative

by Pehchaan The Street School. A much more convenient and accessible option in today's times is

social media. We underestimate the power our smartphone holds in our hands. Hundreds of

platforms and millions of users are connected with us. It all depends upon the creativity of a person

and how he or she likes it to be in their favor, with the emergence of better-than-ever technologies,

internet tools, and the increasing influence of content creation. The goal of social media

engagement is not just to influence people but to create a meaningful impact in their lives. Anything

can be magnified and therefore we need to be watchful about providing recognition of relevant and

significant issues. In Pehchaan The Street School, it always remains the core concern and focus. It

remains quite active on social networking websites such as YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X.

After successfully wrapping up the biggest event of the year 'Pehchaan Ki Diwali', the focus has

shifted to new collaborations and events with notable personalities. In order to be able to fund the

activities and classes being conducted for the children, it is really important that the work being

done reaches out to people.

As more and more identify with Pehchaan The Street School, education and development of the

deprived children would become a smooth path.

Recent Collaborations

A few recent collaborations that are worth mentioning for the recognition it brought towards the

work of Pehchaan The Street School -

Noted music composer and singer, Bismil visited Indraprastha Centre of Pehchaan The Street School.

The event was held at one of the centers and was filled with music and magic for the little ones.

Bismil was more than just an artist here at school; he was an epitome of happiness, inspiration, and

belongingness for the children at the center. He also came with eatables for the children.

When he sang songs, his melodious voice enchanted and captured the purity childhood encloses. He

also engaged with the children during the event, where he asked them questions about their dreams

and passions, whereas there were times it was the children who bombarded him with their curiosity

and love.

Riddhima Kapoor Sahni who is the sister of Ranbir Kapoor recently also shared about Pehchaan The

Street School's work on her Instagram followers. These re-shares and reposts are not bait for

followers or likes. It guarantees that more people become familiar and most importantly, aware. It

may also be just what one is looking for. Many people will be willing to donate, help, and other

welfare activities but cannot find any credible method to do that. And of course, it is rightly said,

"Where there's a will, there is a way". Through sharing, posting, and talking with others you can

certainly help!

Recent association with APCA India (Academy of Pastry and Culinary Art) where they had sent meal

boxes for the students at Sunder Nursery Centre. Contributions like this motivate others who are

already on the job. Charity is employed in providing textbooks, workbooks, and stationery, and in

planning activities that bring a smile to the faces of children. This indeed is a boon to their quality of

life.

These are moments that the children truly cherish. These events at the PTS centers with people like

Bismil are examples of how role models and influencers can influence children, especially those who

most need encouragement. Influencers will become a key to opening doors to a broader influence

One thing an organization wants is awareness and a wider audience. And it is where an influencer

plays their part. Influencers with their loyal followers could be used to cater to audiences and find

like-minded people wishing to work for the betterment of vulnerable sections. Through a person

who has some sort of hold over people, they possess the power and therefore, a responsibility to

lead them in the righteous direction. It's not about followers, of course, but about contributing and

being a vessel for the dissemination of information as well. In this fast-moving world of today, it is

easy to look past other people's lives as we are busy on our own, but it is those steps that help give

back to society. Being an influencer or an ordinary person, there are ways to assist others in

whatever capacity we have with us.

Pehchaan The Street School’s vision goes beyond providing basic education; it aims to nurture well-

rounded individuals who can contribute positively to society. The organization believes that every

child deserves an equal opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. With each new class, event, and

collaboration, Pehchaan The Street School brings hope to children who once saw education as a

distant dream.

By becoming a patron of Pehchaan The Street School, one becomes a part of the mission that

transforms the lives of children and creates better tomorrows. Education is not for the sake of

education as it cannot be instrumental to any advancement, individually or otherwise. This work by

our organization is a beacon of hope that succinctly affirms the fact that all it takes is compassion,

dedication, resolve, and a lot of hard work, and a world where every child can dream and fulfill their

aspirations is possible. Helping most vulnerable children to survive and providing basic Primary

School education is not the only goal in the mission of Pehchaan The Street School. It has also a

vision of raising productive citizens of the community. The organization works on the premise that

every child is able to learn, grow and benefit without exceptions. With every new class, event, and

collaboration, our organisation fills in the gap of trained power to those children who had difficulty

imagining education even as a possibility.

Supporting the mission of Pehchaan  The Street School does not always have to be through financial

means. There are many changing ways in which one can opt to assist, such as at a personal level by

volunteering, going to the association functions, or simply by promoting organisation through social

media. Taking up a volunteering role provides an opportunity to help children directly, whether in

teaching classes, organizing activities, or even mentoring. There is also a benefit that can come from

attending activities organized by Pehchaan The Street School and even rallying supportive audiences

out there since it helps in creating awareness and inspiring other people to take action.
