SNEHA (meaning compassion) is a professionally managed non-profit organization that works for the other underprivileged sections of society especially the Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes to improve their socio-economic conditions as they are in the bottom of the pyramid. SNEHA endeavors to make a difference in the lives of these people through value-based education to their children. In the process, SNEHA endeavors to bring into the consciousness of the children and parents about their hidden potentialities.
To seek deeper level of social transformation, SNEHA would address poverty; injustice and discrimination by enabling these communities develop a questioning spirit on prevailing social, political and economic deprivations. The idea is to inform their opinion on democratic deficits and motivate them for constructive activism.
Our vision: A just, humane, peaceful society.
Our Mission: To empower underprivileged sections of society through quality education that builds knowledge, skills, values, and creates socially responsible citizens.
What we do: SNEHA works with Tribal, Dalit and other underprivileged communities and provides value-based education to their children through:
1. Formal Schools
2. Non-formal schools
3. Scholarship to poor but meritorious students.
SNEHA believes in value-based education, in education that is about much more than just grades. Our aim are not only to develop knowledge and skills but also to develop human values like truthfulness, righteous conduct, love, peace, non-violence, tolerance etc to make them good human beings.
At each school, SNEHA ensures that children understand that they are to become global citizens with civic sense, in accordance with SNEHA’s slogan “education for universal compassion”. Also, in the communities where SNEHA is active, schools not only transform the lives of children, but they also offer the wider community an opportunity to improve family life. SNEHA schools therefore become centers for community spirit.
