About Our Reapchild
A Literacy Movement to Liberate and Empower lives.
Reach Education Action Program (REAP) was born out of a need to combat illiteracy and ensure every child is in school. For millions of children out-of-school and in child labor, education is still a distant dream. Yet, it is a known fact that primary education is the key to development and that the future of the country is shaped in her classrooms.
Illiteracy needed a frontal attack. REAP launched a full scale campaign for its eradication covering the length and breadth of Mumbai city and surrounding rural areas up to Nashik, through a Literacy program which literally takes education to the doorstep of the poor.
These include children on the street, slums, rag-pickers, child laborers and tribal children. Every year about 1500 children are mainstreamed in formal education. REAP also networks with government schools to upgrade quality education and prevent drop-outs.
REAP soon grew into a literacy movement for empowerment. Beginning with adult literacy, awareness program, human rights, skill training, income generation and currently 200 Self-Help Groups, women are trained to be agents of social change in their community. From being penniless to deciders of their group’s income and marketing is a success story of self reliance and development.
To ensure quality education, sustainability, advocacy, on-going training and research, REAP began its own four Teacher Training centers to train new teachers for it’s ever expanding ‘footpath
Our organization truly believes that by working together, we can save more lives than ever before.
