About Do Slumthing

Do Slumthing’s efforts on the ground in India centre around providing education and pastoral care to underprivileged children in and around Jaipur, India. Our lead teacher and social activist, Shahadat Ali, founded two schools, Parva School – atop a municipal rubbish tip – in 2010 and the Zindagi Foundation in Harmada in 2022.

Parva has since closed but with our support five further schools have been established : one called ‘Under the Bridge’ beneath a motorway flyover in the City Centre and others in Kishan Bagh, Shree Ram Tila, Todi and Renwal Manji. Most of these schools aim to empower children by teaching them English alongside their native Hindi, believing that English proficiency will improve their chances of employment and further education.
