Ritinjali Centre, Nathupur Pahari, (DLF)

Nathupur Pahari is a slum inhabited by immigrants who moved from their original habitat due to acute poverty, the absence of any institutional support and an uncertain future. They earned their livelihood by working for the construction industry or as domestic helps. There was no regular school or learning for the children of this marginalized community.

In the year 2005, Ritinjali set up its Learning Centre at Nathupur Pahari for the children of this slum. The Centre operates out of a thatched roof classroom, built by the community, and accommodates up to 70 children. The children, who have no access to regular schooling, are taught English, Hindi, Art, Mathematics and Science at the Centre. Ritinjali also organizes picnics and outings every month. Our volunteers visit the Centre regularly and conduct lessons in spoken English and Life Skills.
