Overview

Alternative Learning Spaces for Dropouts and Marginalized Children

Pathshala is Samagra Foundation's flagship initiative to bring out-of-school children, school dropouts, and rescued children-often from backgrounds of begging, trafficking, or extreme poverty-back into the fold of learning. Focused in urban slums and informal settlements, Pathshala acts as a remedial, bridge, and transitional learning center that prioritizes inclusion, safety, and joy in education.
