Doorstep School (DSS) provides education and support to the often-forgotten children of pavement dwellers, slum dwellers, construction site families and many other underprivileged families. Many of these children are not enrolled in school and have limited access to books and a place to study. Additionally, many children drop out of school to work or care for younger children. With neither support nor resources at home some children also suffer from very low learning levels. DSS is trying to bridge this gap by bringing education to the "Doorstep" of these underprivileged children.

“Project Foundation” is part of the Direct Education Programme of Door Step School which addresses the needs of children in the age group of 6 to 14 who do not have access to formal schools. DSS runs Educational Activity Centers -EAC (Literacy Classes) and study classes for these children, supported by Balwadis and Day Care Centres at construction sites.

Asha SV is supporting 10 EACs in Pune.
1) Enroll children in formal schools
2) Provide access to books and a place to study
3) Reduce drop out rate and improve learning levels
DSS was established in Mumbai, India in 1988 and later expanded in Pune in 1989 with the aim of addressing literacy amongst the marginalized sections of society.

Door Step School provides education to children who (a) do not attend school (b) drop out early (c) have low learning levels
