Rescue and relief Foundation gives child education prime importance, particularly children who are subjected to child labour and cannot get education like others.There are children in Durgapur who live their lives digging illegal small coal pits to help their family who are involved in this illegal business. Rescue and Relief Foundation has come forward to take 92 of these children’s lives to light with a new project which takes care of a children’s welfare center at Durgapur. The center provides English medium school education to 40 children from kindergarten to class-4. Rest of the children are provided informal education which opens the door for future. We hope you will all give a helping hand to carry forward this project to educate children who are impoverished and subjected to child labour.

Education is the foundation upon which we build our future. - Christine Gregoire

Keeping this view in mind, Rescue and Relief Foundation has taken an initiative to help poor but meritorious students through “Vivek- Uday Students’ Welfare Society” located in Belgharia.

Now, this might seem to you a little bit surprising that this Foundation works to rehabilitate the rescued girls from trafficking and support old age homes and all of a sudden, we have started helping these students. But for us, it is an awakening call. We have understood that without the light of education, we can’t simply think of uprooting the evils of the society.

In our society, we stand in a place where education is the most needful for everyone. Education must be provided to everybody. We believe that if our today is nurtured well, our future would be fruitful. It is the strongest tool that anyone can use at their disposal to bring about a positive and impactful change in the society.

“Vivek- Uday Students’ Welfare Society” is one such pillar that has been established by the students who believe that the light of education must never be stopped from spreading as just as we do. This is one of our many missions to change the society. We call it, “ The Merit Sponsorship Program” to help those who want to study further but are not able to do so because of their remote location. Through this program, we help these students with Fooding and Lodging at a facility in Belgharia. Currently, approx. 20 students are being benefited. But we aim to expand this facility in near future and help more such students who really have the potential to be successful in the future.

Come, lets help to build a bright future. For everyone.
