Lakshyam was founded in the year 2012 by a group of people who shared a common dream, goal and had come together to contribute towards society & people development with a focus on the area of child education, development, and women empowerment.

Lakshyam vision and mission is to work for economic, political, and socially marginalized communities for their holistic advancement and implementing specific, customized, cost-effective, scalable, and replicable models for community development and to help and empower the less advantaged children and women by putting at least 500 street children, dropouts to formal schooling system by 2020 and to increase the income by Rs 5000 of at least 200 under our women empowerment program.
Despite being the capital of India, Delhi has over 4 million people living in makeshift homes in slums that are overcrowded, lack adequate water supply, sanitation, and security. Children of these slum dwellers often do not get access to basic education and instead have to start working to support their families.
At such a tender age, they are forced to grow up in a haste and suffer the loss of their childhood and innocence. They are taken advantage of by employers who use them as cheap labor. United Nations recognizes the deprivation of these resources to be a violation of fundamental human rights.
It is not just the responsibility of the government to promote and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms of individuals or groups. It is the duty of us – the citizens – to do our bit in ensuring equal advancement of all sections of the society. Lakshyam vowed to put an end to this widespread violation of people’s fundamental rights, especially of women and children residing in the slums of metropolitan cities.
We aim to empower them through education and employment by implementing models of development that are tailored to the needs of the community.
Lakshyam which is a volunteer organization in India has organized programmes such as – Butterfly- Child Welfare and Education (wherein basic education is provided to impoverished children through comprehensive learning methods), Lakshyam Toy Library (wherein the child’s growth is supplemented using educational toys, games, and books in an environment which cultivates and encourages the child’s imagination and creativity), Rooh – Awakening Women’s soul (wherein women are empowered to generate self-employment and a means of income using training of vocational and professional skills).
