/ -- TurningLife Foundation is an NGO based in Noida, providing education to underprivileged children to prepare them for formal education and schooling in the future.
The organization's story began in 2014 when its founder, Ashish Mittal, stood as a first-hand witness to an incident that wasn't new to construction sites, yet barely made the news. A toddler fell to his death from a temporary elevator shaft, only to be found sinking in a quagmire 3 days later.
It is the taxing nature of manual labour at these sites that renders parents helpless during working hours. Since all the adults in the family are busy working, the children are forced to stay in or near life-threatening conditions, unminded. Construction sites are hazardous even for the more careful adolescents and young adults, as they breathe in toxic fumes and concrete dust.
In order to support underprivileged children living at these construction sites, TurningLife Foundation collaborated with Gulshan Homz, the Noida-based real estate developer, to setup and start its first set of schools at their construction sites.
Talking about the collaboration, Ashish Mittal said, "Developers like Gulshan Homz are great examples of giving back to society and contributing to the pressing causes that affect children across the world."
