Manolita NGO was founded in the year 2022 by a young social entrepreneur who further brought a group of like-minded people together to contribute to the betterment of society with a focus on child education, holistic child development, and women empowerment. We started this journey with a dream of creating a world where every child is showered with love, given opportunities for having a bright future, no child’s innocence is marred by the horrors of child labor, and a world where women’s well being is paid attention to and they’re empowered to sustain themselves and their family.

In India, 35.2% of people living in Urban Areas reside in slums that are overpopulated, have lack adequate water supply, sanitation, and security. Children of these slum dwellers often do not get access to basic education and instead have to start working to support their families. The statistics and the problem is the same in both rural and urban India.

We at Manolita vowed to put an end to this widespread violation of people’s fundamental rights, especially of women and children residing in the slums of India. We aim to empower them through education and employment by implementing models of development that are tailored according to the needs of the community.
