Meet Ichcha

Six-year-old Ichcha lives in one of the most marginalised Dalit areas in India. Due to ingrained caste discrimination, she and her community are ostracised from society and denied their rights, including education.

There is no functioning school here, but Ichcha goes to a bright, colourful learning centre, supported by Children on the Edge. This gives her access to quality education, creativity and play, and encourages her to realise her worth.

She says. “My teacher teaches me dance and I love to dance. It makes me feel comfort and peace.”

Your donation can help children like Ichcha to access education and care in a safe space.
