The school is targeted towards working children, children of migrant laborer families, and children from near by slums where mostly both parents work. These children have either never gone to school before or have dropped out. The schools tries to encourage them to take up studying. The school curriculum covers materials for classes 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Thereafter they mainstream the children to government or private schools. The school is run by staff trained by Humana. The teachers also work as community mobilizers, in which role they interact closely with the children's parents, local employers, official and unofficial authorities in the community.
