Benefits of Early Childhood Education
Early Childhood Education (ECE) plays a pivotal role in developing cognitive, emotional, and social skills in children. It nurtures mindfulness, emotional balance, and creativity, fostering societal inclusivity. Research highlights its impact on reducing crime, enhancing productivity, and boosting happiness. Governments and nonprofits, like Smile Foundation, integrate ECE with health and nutrition, ensuring holistic development through structured programs and community engagement. Smile Foundation is actively involved in early childhood education through various initiatives aimed at creating a solid foundation for young children.
Mothers and Grandmothers Leap Towards Literacy
The adult education programme is empowering older women to do their own
The oldest students in this classroom are 82 years old, while the youngest are in their 30s. The rest fall into their 40s, 50s, and 60s, forming a diverse group that includes mothers and grandmothers. Every Saturday, these women stride briskly to school, each carrying a red shopping bag filled with tools for learning: an alphabet book, a basic math book, two notebooks, a pencil, an eraser, and a sharpener.
Their school is the same higher secondary school their children or grandchildren attend, but here, the roles are reversed—the younger generation has become the teachers, guiding these women on their journey out of illiteracy. This unique initiative, called Alor Disha (Towards Light), operates every Saturday from 2 to 3 pm in a ground-floor classroom.
The program began in 2017 under the Kanyashree Club with 27 students and continues nearly three years later, empowering and inspiring through education.

The runaway success of her shop drives Anjali to expand further.
Anjali Das, a former student, is an inspiration at her school, thanks to the opportunities provided by Kanyashree Prakalpa.
