This project is part of the Nizamuddin Conservation Project, AKDN. The project has been working towards strengthening basic services in the three core areas of health, education and environmental sanitation. The MCD School in the Basti has been renovated resulting in an unprecedented increase in enrolment and attendance of students. Active participation of teachers, parents and the children themselves in transforming the school into a joyful learning place is a highlight of the work done in the area of Education. As part of the ongoing activities in the school efforts are on to inculcate health and hygiene practices among children. Children being the best change agents, the messages are expected to be taken back to their homes and the community at large.
