CDR's Interventions in Education
We believe that one of the most important ways to overcome the gap in human
capability and social inclusion is through access to quality education.
Education can help develop latent capabilities and enable individuals to access
further means of social mobility and justice. This education must focus on
specific needs of the excluded groups and impart the ability to think & reason,
increase self-respect & dignity and deliver critical life-skills. With this vision, we
are currently running the following interventions.
