Pundit Nehru on knowing the importance of education to children of our country included and highlighted the point in his five years plan that every child in India would get free and compulsory primary education. Over thousands of schools were built throughout the villages of India when he was in power.

In the present situation of our country, we cannot hide the fact that many children in India are not getting basic privileges like education. Many children are earning money instead of playing with toys.

Children's Day celebration is the tribute to childhood. John Kennedy, 35th US president has quoted it rightly, “Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future”.

The true essence of children's day is to understand the significance of childhood and support the children with what they actually need in their life. Rehab India Foundation is striving hard to support the children and working towards creating child friendly society, where all children are free from exploitation and receive quality education.

Loan Distribution in Nizamuddin Colony

                                                      ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT


The first important task for a society is to maintain itself. There must be proper food, clothing, shelter and education for its members. To satisfy all these necessities and improve their standard of living, the people of the society need a standard income. Many people in the rural region have no sufficient financial income to support their family and satisfy their basic needs. There are many difficulties and obstacles faced by the poor people in their day-to-day living. They need a source of income to placate them. The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. It is not easy to take up a business; there are various problems which have to be overcome resolutely. Skills and monetary factors are very imperative in a business. Some people though they have skill and interest, they doesn’t have favorable environment to utilize their talents.

Loan amount of Rs. 7000/- each was distributed for various jobs such as Pappad making, Tailoring, Retail shop establishing etc.
These interest free loans are given to the deserving people of underprivileged society. Instead of worrying about getting a job and low salary, with this they are able to support themselves and their families.

We single out the most deserving people and help them to start up their own business with which they can earn a living through their own labor and small business. They can be self reliant and can support their family economically. They organize to build their own strength and meet challenges.
