- Dev Pratap Singh co-founded ‘Voice of Slum’ with Chandni Khan, an NGO now educating over 500 children. It also distributed over 20 lakh meals during the pandemic. In early age Dev was negatively impacted by miscreants famous in his area and wanted to be like them.
- Seeing the plight of other children collecting garbage as he did several years ago, the duo decided to start an NGO. But neither had the money. Voice of Slum is run by over 30 salaried staff members, who teach these children and take care of the NGO. The children are taught the basics, with a focus on practical knowledge and less on the theoretical aspect.
- At present, the NGO caters to over 500 children of which 370 children are enrolled in formal schools. The remaining 130 are still preparing. Dev says, “We want to open a formal school by 2023, and further expand our operations to more places. We also are taking forward our work to Madhya Pradesh and help more kids in the days to come.
