About Sunbeam
Sunbeam is a story written by many tiny hands - hands of slum children, children of migrant construction workers, domestic workers children living in the chawls of Mumbai. 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 Kishore, Tuljamma, Babu, Sangeeta and Salman proudly attend classes at Sunbeam centres, go to a municipal school/attend reputed colleges, compete with privileged counterparts in school/college and aspire for careers on the other side of the slum, construction site and chawls.
