Where learning meets dignity, and dreams begin with opportunity.
At the Raksha Children’s Education Center, we believe that every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and succeed — regardless of their background. Located in Walkeshwar, our center provides free, high-quality education and holistic development support to underprivileged children from surrounding slum communities.
We don’t just educate children — we empower futures.
📚 Our Vision
To bridge the educational divide by creating safe, nurturing, and stimulating spaces for children who lack access to formal schooling and developmental resources.
