Sshrishti is one of many good NGOs in India. Based in Vasant Kunj, it's goal it to provide formal elementary education to children from the slums. This woman started teaching slum children in her home around 2003, and through word of mouth, more and more children began to come. Now, the organization runs learning centers and computers centers around Delhi and other rural villages.
I've been (trying to) teach English there since January, and the space, my lack of Hindi and the overall lack of resources all combine to make the situation a bit hectic. Still, Sshrishti is always trying to improve what it can offer to the children and all the kids are coming because they want to learn. The resources may be basic, but they make the best use of them. They also get a free midday meal and a minimal amount of health care.
If you want to donate, click on this link and type in "Sshrishti". This account was just set up, so don't worry if it says that no money has been given to this organization. I've been told that people should be able to donate with other currencies as well.
