About THE
TIN SHED SCHOOL
Started by Kanchan Bhardwaj as a school for the impoverished children of Ghaziabad, our school has grown into a learning community of over 180 local kids. The school is actually a tin shed under a flyover. The students coming here are charged a minimal fees of rupees 50 which is often waived off as sometimes the parents can't afford even this much. The school provides uniforms , books and stationery to all the kids. They are given simple but nourishing mid day meal. We also hold stitching classes in the early mornings for the older students . We are trying our best to help the students get opportunities to thrive and succeed, but it is a constant challenge. However, with your help in the form of donations and/or volunteering, we can overcome these obstacles and change lives, one child at a time.
