Open House

Here at Mumbai Smiles, we believe that it's not enough to be involved in just one aspect of a child's education. Change trickles in from all directions, and that's why we have become a member of Open House, a network of NGOs and individuals, all working in the field of education and child rights.

Open House provides a platform for all these groups to exchange information and ideas, learn from each other and present a united stand on children’s issues. It pools the resources and strengthens the strategies of various NGOs with the aim of being a bigger influence to bring about change.

Every month, representatives of all the members of this network meet to discuss and tackle issues, in various ways. One of these was the rally organised in April to protest against the new Right to Education Act, which Mumbai Smiles was also a part of (rally). Mumbai Smiles will continue to contribute to this meaningful network and will tell you all about it here.

The more of us that fight together, the more change we can hope to see.
