SNEHA aims to provide value-based education based on five core universal values of truthfulness, righteous conduct, peace, love and non-violence to Chakma (Buddhist) and Hajong (Hindu) indigenous children in Arunachal Pradesh, India.These children in AP have very limited access to state-provided education, where teacher ratios are as low as 1:300.

2. Benevolent Family Intervention in northern Thailand

This program aims to identify destitute children with promise, and identify and address the impediments that might limit them. It recognises that basic needs trump education, and that things like putting a lock on a door or providing a bag of rice can sometimes be the most effective means to ensuring access to education.Download Information
