YSF in collaboration with Prakriti embark on a journey to support child education

Yuvraj Singh Foundation which has been making its presence felt lately through various events and social causes etc. has now started supporting its first of schools. The school which is situated in Suratnagar area in Gurgaon is functioning here with children from lower sections of society for around 3 years. However for lack of funds and resources the school was unable to reach out to more children, and was able to provide only bare minimum facilities to children.

Now with the support of Yuvraj Singh Foundation, the NGO Prakriti which has been operational in Gurgaon for 3 years now working mostly in the areas of environment awareness and child education, is going to take care of the school directly and make sure the progress of the children isn't hindered by lack of resources.

Prakriti General Manager Ashwini Pratap, is excited about being working with YSF, he says "It's a great opportunity for us to have a partner like YSF. Together we can reach much farther than Prakriti was able to do so far. We hope this would be a fruitful partnership and lead to more such positive endeavors."

The collaboration also plans to start another school next month. This is one of the poorest slums in Gurgaon mostly inhabited by families of rag pickers. There are around 400 children living here with no access to education. Amit Yadav, managing director of YSF says "This project is a dream for me which with the help of Prakriti is about to be realized very soon. The children there can't ask for anything more than good education, which is the only way for them to hope to get out of the cruel cycle of chronic  poverty. We are really happy to be involved in making these projects come alive.".
