About Sunbeam
Sunbeam is a story written by many tiny hands - hands of street children, slum children, children of migrant construction workers. Children who very early on learn that dreams are not for them.
Sunbeam has befriended 1000 such children in the city of Mumbai and through a comprehensive programme, which stresses education, recreation and community involvement, has sown the dream of a future within them.
Today, children like Rekha, Kishore, Tuljamma and Babu proudly attend classes at Sunbeam centres, go to a municipal school, compete with privileged counterparts in school and aspire for careers on the other side of the street, slum and construction site.
