OUR WORK
DEVELOP
AND EMPOWER
01/
Education
Since 2010, DSS has been running schools for underprivileged children from rented premises, using CSR funds. Rents were high, so we approached Brihanmumbai Mahanagarpalika (BMC) which had municipal schools closing down due to lack of students. We appealed to them to provide us classrooms where we could run the school for underprivileged children absolutely free.
With persistent follow up BMC allotted our organization 5 schools in Aug 2014. Out of the allotted 5, we initially started 2 schools as other locations were really dilapidated. The remaining schools have now been renovated and handed over to us in the October 2018.
This has now taken us from 500 to 700 students.

Women's Empowerment
We help empower women with education and a helping hand to lead dignified, violence-free lives.
Violence Against Women continues to be one of the most prevalent and least recognised human rights violations in the world. In India, this occurs in many forms: domestic violence, sexual assault, economic oppression, public humiliation, abuse, trafficking and ‘honour’ killing. One in every two women in India experience violence in their daily lives.
To help women to fight against any kind off violence, we run a Government-approved Mahila Samupadeshan Kendra from Saki Naka, Kashimira, Goregaon, Oshiwara, Malad police stations. We have successfully helped more than 2000 women lead safe and secure lives.
