| Welcome to Access |
It is 15 years since ACCESS (Association for Community Care, Education, and Social Services) has opened doors and let the future come in for hundreds of children of disadvantaged families of Bangalore, South India. The children, who live in and around Chellikere, many of whom work in the quarries of Hennur Bande, Hosur Bande, Byrathi Bande and Marenahalli, have ACCESS for education, health, social and spiritual growth, thus making their world a better place to live in..... that’s why we have the name ACCESS – access to love, kindness, and improved living.
“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime” said Walt Disney. ACCESS is built on this belief. Children are provided with all the skills and knowledge they need to be independent. One of the problems that children face in continuing their education is that once they become older they are compelled to go to work in factories, garages and quarries or as domestic help to supplement the family income. ACCESS encourages them to continue with their studies by providing for their needs – fees, clothes, books, food, milk, which otherwise puts a burden on the family. |
