The foundation for a child is laid in its early ages. Children from disadvantaged or socially excluded communities are caught in the cycle of poverty and violence unless they are nurtured in a safe space or environment. Many kids drop out of school at an early age due to multiple reasons including lack of quality and inspiring teaching, pressure to earn at an early age, culture(especially in girl children).

Since its inception, FFEC has accomplished the following: FFEC aims to establish safe, creative spaces for children that can inspire them to enjoy learning and help them in overall personality development.

• Established a Creative Learning Centre for children in Trilokpuri, East Delhi in collaboration with ABC
  Campaign
• Organized a Summer Camp in June 2016 in Chilla Village, an unauthorized neighborhood of Trilokpuri
• Conducted Science workshops
• Participated in marathons and other outdoor activities

Beginning in April 2017 we started initiatives for youth focusing on skill development that will enable them to be better prepared for college education and jobs.

English as skill

Recognizing the demand from the youth on improving their communication and language skills, particularly in English, we have are proud to have a professional trainer, Nimisha Bhagat gives a 60-hour workshop beginning in May 2017 (minimum qualification is Class X pass).

In addition, we are also conducting a 6-month course in English for children in class 9 and above, including school dropouts.
