Current Projects
Asha Bhavan Center (ABC), West Bengal. Education During the Pandemic
The project intends to promote and continue with School Education for the rural children through the schools of Asha Bhavan Centre. This project specifically addresses the needs of the school during the Covid Pandemic Period. Enforced lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus together with multiple natural calamities brought untold misery and hardships for the common people (2 cyclones and floods) in West Bengal, especially the school education. Owing to the suspension of physical attendance of students, teachers were involved in continuing the studies through several means which include providing study materials through guardians, online classes, traveling to students’ houses – many of those remain unreachable by normal means of transport, etc. Given the above situation, we are proud to say that there were many activities despite the challenges. These include
-
Parent teacher meetings
-
School Events & Celebrations
-
Book Distributions
-
Sports and athletics training program
Dream India Network (DIN):
A House to Grow
The goal of the “A House to Grow” project is to support homes for street children aged 5 to 12 in extremely vulnerable situations . Each foster home can accommodate up to eight children and often children from two homes live together. This reduced number makes it possible to create a family environment which provides each young person with the attention necessary for personalized support. In addition, the small number of children makes it easier to set up a variety of activities.
The program also gives children access to quality education and medical monitoring. Children thus develop capacities which will enable them to emerge sustainably from poverty.
OFI has been working with DIN on this project since it was set up in 2013. 55 houses have since emerged and welcome a total of 550 children. OFI supports seven.

For a quality education
at Shanti School
With the help of our partner SEVAI and civic service volunteers, we have set up a series of activities at the Shanti School that are part of an integrated approach to quality education.
As part of the “Learning for Life” project, a library was renovated for kindergartens and primary school children. Adapted sports equipment has been purchased to set up fun activities led by a young person in civic service. A second volunteer launched an interactive method called “Hello English” to strengthen the English level of students and teachers.
Finally, the double project “Better learning at the Shanti School” introduces a more dynamic teaching method with the Montessori method.
