About Us

Don Bosco Ashalayam is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the education and rehabilitation of vulnerable children, particularly from the streets and slums. It is based in Kolkata, India. With almost 40 years’ experience, the NGO has worked to transform the lives of over 160,000 children by providing them with a safe, caring and educational environment.

Today, Ashalayam works in 2 key areas:
– More than a thousand street children and slum dwellers are supported to return to school. Ashalayam has set up 30 street schools to help and raise awareness among families on subjects such as education, health and child labour.
– 350 children live in 16 homes in and around Kolkata.

The children living in Ashalayam homes benefit from decent living conditions, healthy food, medical care and, above all, a quality education through schooling or vocational training. In this way, they can regain a certain carefree spirit and make a fresh start in life. Ashalayam supports and accompanies children in their development until they become autonomous and independent and have (re)found their place in society.

Our Appeal

At Don Bosco Ashalayam, we believe every child has the right to education and deserves a chance at a brighter future. We are currently raising INR 3,000,000 to maintain our 30 new street schools, reaching thousands of children living in the streets, slums, and from broken families.

These schools provide essential education and help children exercise their right to education by guiding them into government schools. They also offer extra tuition and support classes to ensure academic success. Beyond education, the street schools assist families with administrative needs and access to healthcare, offering comprehensive support to help them rebuild their lives.

Your contribution is transforming lives—empowering children with their right to education and giving them the opportunity for a better tomorrow. Join us in making education and support accessible to those who need it most.
