Nasiha Education & Welfare Trust (NEWT): A Commitment to Education and Community Development

Established in 2003, Nasiha Education & Welfare Trust (NEWT) is a registered educational and social development organization that has been a beacon of hope for the people of Nallasopara, located in the Thane district. Over the years, NEWT has initiated various community-based development programs with a special focus on improving education and the well-being of children.

Our Mission and Vision

NEWT’s mission is to provide quality education and foster the natural skills and creative faculties of vulnerable and deprived children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. We believe that every child deserves an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their socio-economic status. Our vision is to create a joyful, child-friendly learning environment that encourages holistic development and nurtures a lifelong love for learning.

Comprehensive Community Programs

NEWT’s wide range of activities goes beyond education to encompass health, literacy, and socio-economic initiatives, all designed to uplift the community as a whole. We work closely with local families to ensure that children are not only enrolled in mainstream education but are also equipped with the skills they need to thrive academically and socially.

Educational Philosophy

Our educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that with equal opportunity and sustained support, even the most vulnerable and deprived children can achieve academic success. To this end, we employ innovative, joyful methods of learning that are tailored to meet the needs of each child. Our approach ensures that learning is both effective and enjoyable, fostering a positive association with education from an early age.

Collaboration and Partnership

Understanding the importance of collaboration, NEWT actively seeks to establish effective linkages with education experts and institutions engaged in similar activities. These partnerships promote the sharing of ideas and best practices, allowing us to continuously improve and adapt our programs to better serve our community.

A Decade of Impact

For over a decade, NEWT has been at the forefront of educational and social development in Nallasopara. Our efforts have led to significant improvements in literacy rates, health outcomes, and the overall socio-economic conditions of the communities we serve. We are proud of the impact we have made and remain committed to our mission of empowering children through education.

Our main purpose is to give education and marketable vocational training to impoverished children and families in Thane's rural districts, allowing them to steer their life in a more promising direction by being economically self-sufficient.
