Unlocking Rishi’s Future
For ten-year-old Rishi*, losing his father meant losing his chance to go to school. With his family struggling to survive, education felt out of reach — until Railway Children India stepped in to help him back into the classroom.
Meet Rishi
Ten-year-old Rishi* longed to go to school.
But after the death of his father, his family had to rely on the small income his mother could earn. With no money to spare for his education, Rishi – like many children in his community, was shut out of the classroom.
Finding Support
Thanks to Railway Children India’s activity centre in the slum community where Rishi lived, and the support from the team to spark his interest in learning and help him enrol in school, Rishi’s dream of education is now a reality.
He and other children who were once locked out of education can learn, explore, discover and grow in a safe, nurturing space.
A Brighter Future
Rishi is now one of the most enthusiastic and curious learners at the centre. He dreams of becoming a doctor — proof that, with the right support, anything is possible.
Unlocking Potential
£65 could pay for a community worker for a week to reach vulnerable children, support their learning and enrol them in school.
Help children like Rishi.
