We are a charity/NGO that works on the ground with slum children and their families teaching in the slums and outdoors most if not all of the year.  We are looking for kind hearted people who are honest and work hard and who believe that all people are created equal and don’t have discrimination issues in working with dalit class or others.

We expect our teachers to take part in self improvement classes that we provide to better your skills.

Our teachers are expected to work as directed and to assist in not just the teaching but other aspects of the charity as well like skills trainings for families, self reliance training, assist in health camps & distributions of materials to children, families, and schools and may be required to travel upon occasion to other areas for short term periods as an outreach activity.

Successful teachers will have good record keeping skills and be able to communicate with technology to our directors and work with our senior teacher who will direct the day to day work to be done.

In addition to wages we offer bonuses for good work and other benefits.

This will start with a 90 day probation period while we assess your skills and willingness to work with poor people and help us accomplish our mission.
