Afsana started her street school ‘Pehchaan’ in September 2014 adjacent to a road leading to a slum under Ghansoli Bridge in sector-1. “If we want to uplift the underprivileged and stop these crimes, education is the only answer. And education is possible by being among them as if we were one of their own. Slum kids do not want to be given donations from NGOs or groups of individuals. They want respect, dignity and a place in the society. And we ought to give them their place.” said Afsana

After small obstacles, her project was shaping into a success. She was able to hire more volunteers who would work for her free of cost. With her own efforts and the support of the people, Afsana managed to install two computers and a projector for streaming educational videos.
