‘Progress’ Child Education Centers
Education is the right of all children and the obligation of all governments, Its primacy proclaimed by agreements ranging from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to the convention on the rights of child and the Jomtein declaration on education for all. It is the key to the fulfillment of other human rights.
Ensuring the right of education is a matter of morality and justice. It is also a matter of economic common sense, for in this new and information-driven century, the world simply cannot afford the loss of so much human potential. It is the heart of all development, it is not a way to escape poverty-it is a way of fighting it, and is a essential prerequisite for equality, dignity and lasting peace.

Progress’ child education centers are child friendly, family focused and community based units, supporting child education and development, serving children from neglected, underserved and underprivileged communities. These services are provided completely free of charge.
Their mission is to ensure that each child is considered a person of his own, endured with rights, and is worth of respect and dignity and that each one deserves to have the best possible start in life, to complete a basic education of the highest quality, to be allowed to develop to his full potential and to be provided opportunities for meaningful participation in their communities. Our challenge is to change the world for children, and to end the discrimination against children, and ensuring that every child, without exception, is assured the right to dignity, security and self-fulfillment.
The Child Education Centers cater to the Montessori and primary education needs of children 4 - 8 years of age providing them with free writing and reading material, uniforms, shoes, towels, soaps & washing powder, nutrients and vitamins and small gifts as an further incentive for regular and continuing attendance. These centers are supervised and conducted by caring and loving lady teachers who impart both formal and informal education. Each center enrolls 140 child students per year from the very poor, underserved and marginalized communities. Female children are specially encouraged to attend.
