Rediscover the Joy of Giving

SAGE India’s CSR initiative aims to supplement sustainable development in education and produce a significant learning outcome.

To pursue this, SAGE India set up SAGE Saathi in March 2017. An exclusive joint venture between SAGE India and NGO Sakshi, it is a learning centre that runs outcome-driven educational programmes for children from the most marginalized communities (slums, rag pickers, migrant labourers) who, in most cases, are the first generation learners in their families.

Under this initiative, the school caters to children from the age group of three to fourteen years, aiming to inculcate skills that help children find their footing in the world and lead an equal opportunity life through the following programmes:

1. Early Childhood Care & Development: focuses on young children (of day labourers), below the age of six years, by attending to their health, nutrition,  education, and social development.
2. Non-Formal Education: prepares the school drop-outs, ranging from six to fourteen years, for mainstream education by counseling parents and encouraging them to continue their education.
3. Remedial Education: focuses on children in the age group of six to twelve years to stay in regular school and complete their education. These children are on the verge of dropping out of school due to bad grades.
