Deonar Dumping ground in Govandi is the largest garbage dumping ground in Asia. It is a home for thousands of migrants who live in very bad conditions, lacking even the most basic amenities like food, proper clothing and shelter. About 3000 children live in and around the dumping ground today. Most of them are rag pickers supporting their family’s meager income. Child Labor is the deep-rooted socioeconomic problem here, but very few organizations work in this area due to the prevalence of high crime rate and lack of basic amenities Karunya Trust through its Gyansaathi program sees the real need in this area and hopes to seed the value of education and health among the rag picking communities in Govandi. Through the effort of Gyansaathi, 100 % of the drop out children who joined the program have re-integrated into mainstream education or NIOS within 6 months of joining the program. Gyansaathi have 10 operating centers and have enrolled 800 children since the past 12 years. Testimonial:- Myself Asif Shaikh a Gyansaathi Student would like to share my Testimony. I used to pick up rags from the dumping ground, a dropout from school; I only liked hanging out with friends and had bad addictions. Gyansaathi came to my house, counseled me and made me understand the importance of education. Today I can read and write. Recently I completed my 10th STD and doing my college. I dream of becoming a Marketing Manager in a Corporate Company.

About Me
I Ashik Raju would like to support Gyansaathi Project by Karunya Trust, because of the impact created by the trust in life's of many rag picking children from the Dumpyard of Govandi. In the span of last 12 years Gyansaathi Project has brought 800 School Dropped out children to the mainstream education. Today, many children who have not even known Alphabets when they joined the Gyasaathi program have passed their SSC examination and pursuing their higher studies. Many Dream to become Doctors, Engineers, Teachers, Scientist, Corporate Employee etc. I through my Fundraising drive want many more children from the slums near the Govandi Dumpyard to get the light of Education and achieve all their Dreams
