Deficiency in education is one of the most important problems affecting children from very poor backgrounds. ERDS owns and runs four primary schools that cater to about 1200 children in the 3-10 years age group.

Clean water

courses wherein trainees have gone on and opened tailoring units, barber
and beautician parlors, mobile phone repairing outlets and bicycle
repairing shops.
