Educo is an NGO located in Central Mumbai managing a school in partnership with the MCGM. Their curriculum is focused on providing high quality English medium education to their students. However, they lay equal emphasis on imparting structured value education in order to build the student’s character. With active parent engagement and commitment to their cause, educo is able to impact the local community thereby being catalysts for social change. Parel (Lalbaug) grapples with poverty and under-development, amidst the development and boomtown high rises surrounding it. This area is among the least literate communities in Mumbai. Educo now caters to 12 neighboring communities and slums located close to school. Education of the children and engagement with their parents will help this disenfranchised group of people into mainstream occupations. Salient features: 1. Educo is one of the 4 NGOs which support MCGM schools out of total 50 MCGM schools in our ward known as the F/S ward. 2. In a span of 6 years educo has reached 415 children (in 2014) from the initial 20 children in 2009. educo aims to catapult to around 1000 children in next 5 years. 3. The student to teacher ratio in pre- primary and primary medium is 15:1 and 20:1 respectively. I request you to donate for this amazing cause and visit the school to experience the passion on ground and the change educo is bringing about in the community.
