Education is the right of every child. Every child under the age of 16 should have access to free and quality education. It is our endeavor to ensure that every child receives this right. While ILP targets both rural and urban communities, our priority is in rural areas where the developmental work by the state is minimal.
ILP funds projects of the following types:
| There are nearly 13 million children who are out of school in India. This includes children who have dropped out of school or have never enrolled in school. ILP working with its implementation partners supports various interventions to bring children back to school. |

Early Childhood Education Centers
Children in the age group of 0 to 6 constitute 16% of population. Rural working women cannot afford professional day care facilities for their children. Early Childhood Centers or Balwadis provide access to a learning platform, address malnourishment and ensure that children have a safe and creative environment to play and develop while their parents are away earning livelihood. Sibling care is one of the major reasons for children to drop out of school. Supporting early childhood centers where younger children are taken care of has ensured that the older kids stay and continue in school, while inculcating the interest of education in the younger ones. |
Bridge Schools Children who are out of school are enrolled in bridge schools where they are educated and enrolled into main stream schools after helping them improve their learning levels. Residential Bridge Programs - ILP supports residential Bridge schools to rehabilitate children from working conditions. In addition to boarding the children are provided uniforms and other educational materials. Puraskara our scholarship program is designed to help kids who were once working to complete higher education. |
Non Formal Education Centers In remote locations of the country there is a problem of access to schools. Non Formal Education centers are established and supported in such areas to allow children to learn. We educate and empower the community to work with the government to establish schools in these areas. |

This integrated education cum literacy program addresses children from 0 to 14 years, non-literates in the productive age group of 15-35 years.

The aim is to improve quality of learning to prevent drop-outs and low levels of literacy. We accomplish this through
