Sugandh
New Delhi, India
Oakseed’s Ministry Partner
since 2004
The Sugandh Child Development
Centre, located in a slum in
South Delhi, has been transforming the lives of working children for
22 years. Before going to work as trash collectors in the marketplace,
children aged 6-10 come for two hours. They receive a meal and are
taught reading, writing, and mathematics. Here they also learn about
Jesus. Sugandh also operates a Bible and vocational skills school where
young adults and teenagers learn sewing, painting, and card making.
Sugandh offers savings and loan cooperative groups to women in the
slum who either don’t have the documentation needed for a bank
account or the cost of getting to a bank exceeds what they can save in a
month. Money from savings and low-interest loans from the cooperative
groups has enabled women to buy small plots of land in their villages,
cover medical expenses, and fund their children’s education.
