"ShikshaKiAsha" is a social initiative by MSDSS for under-privileged school students. MSDSS is the face of social responsibility in the Mahakali Caves-Poonam Nagar area of Andheri East, Mumbai. Our vision is to have a complete education and healthcare support system for the needy in the area. Towards this we have set ourselves the mission to build a self-sustaining organisation to carry out our so
cial responsibilities.extend a helping hand to the needy in the area - particularly in childrens' education. The Mahakali Caves Road - Poonam Nagar area is full of tall high-rises and home to thousands of cosmopolitan professionals. Yet tucked away in pockets lie teeming tenements and shanties home to hundreds of thousands of the less well to do. For them life is a daily struggle for the things we take for granted - a scramble for water, queues for the toilets, a desperate effort to earn enough for a meal for the family. In such a setting who can afford the money for fees, books, uniforms and the extras that schools demand. The children of such families naturally drop out of or don't go to school at all. The children suffer. This is where MSDSS extends a helping hand. We have tied up with schools in the area to provide monetary scholships to those in financial difficulties thus enabling them to continue their education. In 2013 we have sponsored 102 meritorious students, up from 76 last year. We also provide monetary support to charitable organisations like Ramkrishna Mission, Bharat Sevashram, and to old age homes in the area. We wish to do so much more. We do so because we care. We are grateful to all the organisations and individuals who have supported our endevours. We seek your continued support. If you wish to help or to know more,
