Tiljala SHED helps the most vulnerable children in the slums and squatter camps of Kolkata to lift themselves out of poverty through education.

There are 120,000 children living in marginalised communities on or beside the street in Kolkata. Those who attend school are first generation learners who receive little support from parents and can be regularly kept out of school and sent to work (balloon selling, rag picking, begging). At home domestic violence and substance abuse is common. Families are large; hunger, malnutrition and illness a fact of life. Lack of remedial education and intermittent school attendance leads to low achievement, de-motivation and eventually dropping out. Once children have dropped out the future is bleak: the cycle of poverty continues.
