Child Action supports Mumbai’s street and slum children through education, and play‑based learning delivered by exceptional grassroots partners. We work with Doorstep School and the Opentree Foundation to bring mobile classrooms, foundational literacy, life‑skills and safe learning spaces to children who would otherwise be left behind. Our long‑term partnerships allow us to reach children living on construction sites, pavements and informal settlements, helping them build confidence, resilience and brighter futures. From School on Wheels to Foundational Play™, our programmes strengthen wellbeing, keep children in education and support girls to delay early marriage. Every child deserves a lift. Your support helps us bring learning, opportunity and hope to Mumbai’s most vulnerable children.

Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <h3><strong>Dear friends,</strong><br> <p><strong>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</strong></p> <p><br><strong>As you all know we are getting married soon. Both Elena and me have been very fortunate, having been raised by families that surrounded us not only with unconditional love but also with all the necessary material comforts. As such during this special moment in our lives we decided to think of the less fortunate ones and offer the money raised in our wedding to charities.</strong><br><br><strong>We support The Sharma Foundation, which aims to feed, educate and encourage those in the most desperate situations in the slum areas of India. Please visit the website to find out more about the fantastic work that is being done, both in India and the UK, to help make poverty history. Help us help them. Thank you for your support.</strong></p> </h3> <h3><strong>Looking forward to seeing you all in Chania.</strong><br><br><strong>Best wishes.</strong><br><br><strong>Elena &amp; Michael</strong></h3> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
