Save the Children India celebrates silver jubilee with inspirational video

MUMBAI: Save The Children India, a not-for-profit that runs balwadis in slum communities, will be celebrating its 25th anniversary on July 22. The NGO has produced an inspirational video titled 'Chotu CEO' for the silver jubilee, which shows how education can revolutionise the future of underprivileged children.

Already, the video has reportedly prompted two play schools, SIS Prep International School for Toddlers and The Big Umbrella, to support its balwadis or pre-schools by adopting one balwadi each.

Save The Children India was founded by Vipula Kadri in 1988. It focuses attention on running balwadis, study centres, school excellence programmes and creating learning aids for youth (CLAY). Apart from this it manages Dhvani, an early intervention centre for the hearing impaired, and the Women's Institute for Social Education (WISE) that offers vocational training to adolescent girls from slum communities. It supports a school for hearing impaired and children with learning disabilities, and runs an initiative to combat sexual exploitation as well, among other projects.
Trustees Rahul Kadri, Mana Shetty and Isha Mehra and their spouses, along with CEO Dr Subhadra Anand are the torch-bearers of Kadri's legacy.
