BOSCO began its educational intervention in 2001 by assisting children from socially and economically deprived communities in 13 centers in north India. We have been able to support about 5300 school going children. The sponsorship program is supported by Fratelli Dimenticati and other funding Agencies. The beneficiaries are mainly the tribal children, children from migrant communities and from the low income groups. Majority of them stay in the hostels as their houses are far and in remote villages where no educational facilities are available. The poor children are able to attend school through this program. Educational expenses like school fees, uniform, books, medical support and other related expenses are met by the project. At Camps, social and cultural programs are conducted to bring out their inherent talents and to enhance their sociability and sense of responsibility towards the society. Besides these activities, Annual Sports Day, Exposure visits and study tours, competitions such as Quiz, Talent shows are carried out to give the best to the least. There has been a 30% increase in the number of school going children. Moreover, school dropouts have reduced considerably.

Education has given a new hope to the illiterate villagers specially the girl child. Their interest in studies and participation in outdoor-indoor activities and co-curricular activities help them to grow both intellectually and physically. Fratelli Dimenticati has a special support program for the street children at Ashalayam. 156 Children are provided with shelter, medical, educational, recreational, developmental and cultural assistance.
