St. Catherine of Siena School -
Donation for education
St. Catherine of Siena School Mumbay is a school that gives hope to hundreds of street children. Support the teachers.
Support the teachers
It is an English-speaking school. The children learn English as early as kindergarten. The school is recognized by the state and is subject to state regulations and inspections, but receives no state funding.
The permanently employed teachers follow a curriculum that is similar to public elementary schools and gives street children enough freedom to learn other life skills such as conflict resolution and communication. Among other things, regular intervention programs are conducted with the children to make them reliable and to eliminate or reduce their vulnerability to abuse (drugs, physical violence, sexuality, etc.).
1 teacher costs CHF 250 per month or CHF 3,000 per year

Help children of prostitutes escape prostitution
Daughters of women in prostitution are particularly at risk of falling into the cycle of exploitation themselves. The Udaan programme protects these girls, offering them education, care and new prospects. This is how we break the cycle of prostitution.
A central component is the Nerul Hostel, which currently houses around 35 girls. To prevent malnutrition and promote healthy development, they receive balanced meals every day – based on age-appropriate, seasonal nutrition plans. The hostel creates a safe space far away from the dangers of their previous environment and strengthens the girls in their physical and emotional development.
The fact that our work is also gaining international recognition is demonstrated by Aman Bhalla, Board Member of AAWC. In his TED Talk, he talks about how the Udaan programme is changing lives in a sustainable way.
Costs per child: CHF 1,800 per year
