VOICED: Mobile school spreads literacy in India slums

The Shelter Filter mobile school bus aims to provide basic literacy and numeracy to impoverished children in New Delhi. Despite challenges, such as parental reliance on child labor, the project strives to enroll children in formal education. The Indian government supports this initiative, aiming for universal education for children under 14. Personal stories, like that of Suman Moonilal, highlight the transformative power of education. The project currently reaches 200 children but faces the daunting task of helping 45,000 more.
