Empowering Through Education & Upliftment
Creating a sustainable and empowering educational environment for children from labour families in slum communities. Join us in breaking the cycle of poverty.
We are a social organization operating in the slums and underprivileged communities of Lucknow, striving to uplift the living standards of daily wage laborers and vulnerable families. Our core objective is to ensure education, awareness, and self-reliance reach the most marginalized individuals in society.
To build an egalitarian, educated, and self-reliant society where every child receives quality education to fulfill their dreams, and every woman is economically, socially, and politically empowered to live a life of dignity through community participation and skill development.
To empower children and women in slums through initiatives like Jyoti Kiran Pathshala for free education and RTE admissions. We combat child labor and substance abuse while empowering women through Self-Help Groups (SHGs) with financial literacy, skill development, and leadership training.
Coming from a landless family in Hardoi, Ravindra Kumar moved to Lucknow and worked as a cloth hawker (kapde ki pheri) to support his family. Understanding the struggle, his mission began simply by trying to secure admissions for his own two children under the RTE Act 2009.
When he saw the systemic difficulties faced by poor parents, he formed the 'Abhibhavak Manch'. What started with getting 12 children admitted turned into a movement that has now successfully secured over 796 RTE admissions for underprivileged children in private schools.
Guided by fellowships and the mentorship of Padma Shri Phoolbasan Yadav ji (Chhattisgarh) and Padma Shri Dr. Kshama Metre ji (Himachal), he learned to form Women's Self-Help Groups. Driven by the resolve that no child remains uneducated, he registered the Human Enlightenment Trust in September 2021 to provide free education in the very slums he grew up working in.
