India Projects

KIDS.R.OK runs several evening schools in different locations in Chennai, India. These locations have strategically been chosen due in slum areas where the kids families' cannot afford private school or where higher education is normally not achieved and strived for. We would like to give these kids more support in their education pursuit and empower the kids by giving them role models through our mentorship program. We want to make them believe that education does matter and that higher education is possible no matter what background they come from. Each evening school is run by two part-time employed teachers and all evening schools are overseen by our project manager who are challenging and inspiring the teachers in this journey to make an impact in these children's lives.

We know the challenges that the world faces today. Our team members come from various educational backgrounds and culture, bringing diversity to our organization in a global world to solve global problems.

When we work, we roll up our sleeves and become committed to the cause of our goals. Our success is measured by the number of children reached in providing aid and resources to their upliftment. That’s why we invest whatever resources that are needed and raise money from our donor to meet the urgent needs.

Thiruvanmiyur Project Reflections

When Sunjeet first took me along to visit the Thiruvanmiyur project, then run by Karunakarya, I must confess, I was a little envious of the kids there. And why wouldn’t I be, they live right on the beach! A setting sun over a blue sea when we came in, and a beautiful moonlight reflecting off the waters, on our way out, nothing could stop one from falling in love with this place. This was definitely a project I was already looking forward to. How it all started: The Thiruvanmiyur project...

Hiding behind a towering CSI Church, an Amma canteen and an open railway line, is this small neighbourhood of Saidapet slum, where the dreams of a kid are bigger than his one room house for a family of 5. The first time I visited this neighborhood, I was struck by the contrast between the bright enthusiasm of the teacher, Ms. Sumathi, against the backdrop of her dingy little house. Her dreams were big and SELFLESS. It was clear that she will dedicate herself to these kids’ education, come what may....

,
Kids.R.ok in 2015 planned to start a education focussed project in Chennai, a city with 9 million people. The team did initial surveys in slum areas like Saidapet (central Chennai) and Mathur which is in the northern part of the city to find a need.  With the areas scanned and meeting the children dwelling across the slum areas, we felt there was much to be done right here in Chennai which is also our Indian headquarters. This move seemed logical as the team members were located in Chennai and the...

Bake Sale at Linköping University, Sweden

Fika is a central concept in Swedish culture. Fika means having something small to eat, often together with a cup of coffee or tea. While looking for some way to raise funds at my University I got inspired by the bake sale the kids.R.ok team in New York hosted some months ago. If a bake sale was a success in the US, having a bake sale in this fika-craving country should be even easier. So said and done, I started spreading my idea among my friends to see if anyone...
