MASOOM

Masoom is a not for profit organization that works with the night school students to work on academics and provide better career opportunities to them. Masoom began with informal research on the educational problem of night schools culminating in an action program in 2008. Masoom is the first organization in Maharashtra to run a comprehensive “Night School Transformation Program” for night school education. Masoom started with 2 night schools in the first year and has gradually increased its reach to 100 schools and 8000+ students in the year 2021-22. Masoom provides critical educational infrastructure and resources. This includes basic amenities such as nutrition (evening meals), notebooks, textbooks, mobile science labs, library books, computers and audio-visual learning. For the schools that have blind students, we also provide Braille learning tools, Braille textbooks, etc. Masoom works closely with various stakeholders in the school like the Trustees, Head Masters, teachers, students, parents and non-teaching staff. Masoom organizes training sessions and workshops for teachers, parents and students. Masoom takes initiatives to bring about policy level changes in favor of Night Schools. Masoom is aiming at raising awareness and advocating amongst the public and key decision-makers about the urgent need of policy level changes to be made and implemented.
