HEMLATA has opened doors to wider participation and engagement to students at the SS&SL Girls’ School in Mumbai, where students aged 7-16 years are from economically vulnerable families. While these students receive basic education, their lack of proficiency in the English language has limited their exposure and opportunities to participate in an increasingly globalized workplace environment. HEMLATA instilled a model to empower the girl students with the diction, skills and capability to confidently engage in the English language. Special English classes were introduced, along with study periods. These classes have benefited 448 students in the past years. Parallel to these classes, snacks are offered to all students attending the classes. Additionally, Bus fares are provided to encourage attendance and participation.
