About Us – The Millennium India

Who We Are

Millennium India is one of the country’s largest child-focused humanitarian organizations. Established in 2001 to provide education to children in the slums of Mumbai, Millennium has grown both in scope and geographical coverage. With over two decades of grassroot experience, we employ proven, effective development, public engagement and relief practices empowering vulnerable children and communities living in contexts of poverty and injustice to become self-sufficient and bring lasting change. We serve all children regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender as a demonstration of Christ’s unconditional love for all people.

Where We Work

Millennium India works in 16 districts impacting around 1.6 lakh children and their families in over 110 communities spread across 4 states and union territories to address issues affecting children in partnership with governments, civil societies, donors and corporates.

Our Vision

To create an inclusive society where every child receives a quality education, every woman has access to essential menstrual hygiene products, and every elderly person lives with dignity, free from the struggles of poverty and neglect.

Our Mission

Millennium Welfare Foundation is dedicated to bridging the gaps in education, menstrual hygiene, and elder care through three key programs. Through SEEKHO, we empower young minds from early childhood to secondary education by addressing educational disparities and fostering holistic development. With SAKHI, we ensure women and girls have access to necessary menstrual hygiene products and facilities, overcoming societal norms and poverty-related barriers. Under SAHARA, we support impoverished elders by providing essential monthly rations, daily-use items, and monetary assistance, ensuring they live with dignity and respect

PROGRAMS RESULTS AND ACCOUNTABILITY

All programs are designed to ensure that learning levels in schools and communities increase, education reaches all children who are in school or unable to use school facilities, and youth get well trained for job opportunities. Testing tools are also developed by the Millennium team to check the learning levels of children so as to determine the course of action best suited to each child and to assess impact of our programs.

A FOCUS ON INNOVATION

Our strategies reconfigure teaching methodologies, break down traditional tactics,
and challenge the current rote learning mechanisms in our schools. Our programs are innovative and outcome-driven. In its early years Pratham developed innovative teaching-learning approaches, materials, and measurement methods. In 2005, we pioneered a nationwide survey of schooling and learning that has had a major impact on national and international policy discussions.

LOW-COST, REPLICABLE MODELS

Pratham has worked to develop low-cost, replicable models that can easily spread and be adopted by other organizations. Thousands of volunteers work with Pratham to implement learning interventions at the grassroots level. These volunteers are mobilized, trained, and monitored by the Pratham team. They are also provided with teaching-learning material and books developed by Pratham. Not only does this ensure more effective implementation of the programs, but it also helps to build an infrastructure focused on providing quality education to children

DEDICATED TO LARGE-SCALE CHANGE

The mission to improve the quality of education in India and ensure that all children not only attend but also thrive in school is being accomplished by working in collaboration with the government, local communities, parents, teachers, volunteers, and civil society members. Our programs aim to supplement rather than replace governmental efforts. They are implemented on a large scale to not only reach as many children as possible, but also to create an adoptable demonstration model for state governments.
