Initiated by the Dawoodi Bohra\u2019s \u2018Project Rise\u2019 programme, this sustained programme will support around 100 children between the ages of two to six every year whose parents are daily wage workers in the adjoining factories and construction sites.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing details about the initiative, Dr George John, CEO of Deepalaya, said, <em>\u201cStudies have shown that the majority of underprivileged children under the age of five suffer from inadequate early childhood opportunities, nutritional deficiencies and health issues. Understanding this sensitive period for child development, we have partnered with the Dawoodi Bohra community in New Delhi to set up the early childcare and development centre at Sanjay Colony. The centre will equip vulnerable children with gross motor skills and functional literacy and prepare them to join formal schooling as they reach six years old.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSo far, 54 children have already been identified and enrolled in the Centre, including the appointment of teachers and support staff. As part of this holistic development, the Centre will also take care of the children\u2019s nutritional and basic health requirements,\u201d <\/em>John added.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Hatim Badri, Representative of His Holiness in New Delhi, said, <em>\u201cEvery child deserves access to early childhood care and basic education for their overall growth and development. We\u2019re fortunate to have launched this project to support the disadvantaged parents who struggle to give time, resources and nurturing care to children during their early childhood years.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe leader of the Dawoodi Bohra community, His Holiness Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, has always encouraged the community to show kindness to the less fortunate and strive to uplift those in need. With this guidance, our members continue to undertake various social welfare projects in rural and urban India and across the world,\u201d he added.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Project Rise, the global philanthropic endeavour of the Dawoodi Bohra community, is working in partnership with local community volunteers and organisations to support vulnerable members of society through better education, healthcare, nutrition, water and sanitation, and environmental protection.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact pr.error.rectification@gmail.com to notify us.
