Our Programmes
Second Chance School
Established in 2003 by Ritinjali, the Second Chance School is a ground-breaking residential education and skill development initiative. Catering to disadvantaged students from across the country, we aim to empower young adults aged 18-24 who missed their first chance at education.
Learning Centres
Ritinjali runs learning centers in Kusumpur Pahari, an urban slum in South Delhi’s Vasant Vihar Region, and the Ekta Camp in Vasant Kunj. The Learning centres were established in 1995, and started off as a bridge school, offering education to out-of-school children aged 4 to 14, with the goal of preparing them for mainstream formal education.
Skilling Development
Founded in 2005, Ritinjali initiated its NIOS Certified skilling program with a dedicated mission to integrate young individuals into the workforce. The program is designed to empower those from underprivileged communities, providing them with high-quality training for financial independence.
Disaster and Emergency Relief
Ritinjali has provided a helping hand in times of natural disasters, leading emergency relief efforts and community development in affected areas. While based in Delhi, the work and efforts have reached areas as far-flung as Tripura, Meghalaya, Gujarat, Orissa, Pondicherry, Jammu and Kashmir, Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Kerala and Nepal.
