A group for the upliftment of slum children.

THEATRE AGE

Hum panchi unmukt gagan ke, Pinjad bandh na gaa paayenge,Kanak teeliyon se takrakar,Pulkit pankh toot jaayenge..

Need na do, chaahe tehni ka,Aashray chhinn-bhhinn kar daalo,lekin pankh diye hain to,Aakul udaan mein vighn na daalo 

Child labor is prevalent everywhere around us...

Unfortunately, it goes unnoticed by many...

Theatre Age is a humble attempt to enable under privileged children to carve their own niche in the world.

To prevent slum children from being forced to work, Theatre Age rehabilitates them and introduces a new perspective through theatre workshops.

Simultaneously, Theatre Age operates an evening school to provide education to these children

Recently, 15 children associated with Theatre Age have passed the 8th and 9th grade examinations with flying colors.

Funds for the evening school and theatre workshops are generated through collection and sale of ‘raddi’-old newspapers.
