Our story

Santan and Jaun (Co-Founders) met eachother whilst working a night shift in a hotel. They got to know that they were both doing slum tours and decided to team up to create Street Learning.

Both Santan and Jaun work 7 days a week at the same hotel on alternating shifts, whilst one works the other is giving educational walks around the slum and teaching.

We currently fund the school by giving educational walks around the slum to tourists. 100% of the money goes back into improving the lives of the children.

FAQ's

100%

We utilise all of the donations received to continuously improve Zakhira slum. 
All other expenses such as website, social media and advertisement costs are covered by the teams personal income.

General things such as reading, writing and speaking both Hindi and English. We also teach them Maths, arts & crafts and music.
In addition to this we teach social skills, personal and environmental hygiene and respect.

We often get volunteers who will teach the children different languages, some of our children can speak Japanese.

50,000 people!! And two train tracks run through the middle of the slum.

The children in Zakhira have to work within the slum to help provide for their family. Therefore they do not have the time to go to public school outside of the slum.
We provide the children with classes that they can attend whilst still providing for their families to help build their knowledge in hope of a better future.

In some cases, it is not safe for the children to attend public school.
