For children living on the streets or working in high-risk urban areas, attending a traditional school is often impossible. LEEDO’s Mobile School program brings education directly to where children live and work, making learning accessible, flexible, and safe.

The Mobile School combines outreach, teaching, and care services in a mobile format, allowing street-connected children to acquire literacy, numeracy, and life skills without leaving their daily environment.

Key Components

1. Flexible Learning on the Streets

• Mobile classes are conducted at bus stops, railway stations, and busy marketplaces, reaching children where they are most at risk.
• Flexible timing ensures children who work or help their families can still participate.
• Curriculum emphasizes basic literacy, numeracy, and life skills, as well as social awareness.

2. Integrated Support Services

• Children receive nutritious meals and snacks during classes to support growth and concentration.
• Basic hygiene and WASH support is provided to protect children’s health.
• Mobile School staff offer counseling, psychosocial support, and referrals to shelters, peace homes, or vocational training programs.

3. Pathway to Rehabilitation and Opportunities

• Children engaged through Mobile School can be linked to LEEDO shelters, Schools Under the Sky, or vocational training programs.
• The program builds trust and relationships, helping children access long-term support services.
• Mobile School helps prevent child labor and exploitation by providing educational alternatives.

Impact

• Hundreds of street-connected children receive continuous learning opportunities in their own neighborhoods.
• The program acts as a bridge to formal education, vocational skills, and protective services.
• Mobile School creates safe, structured environments for children who would otherwise remain outside the education system.

Alignment with LEEDO’s Mission

The Mobile School program reflects LEEDO’s commitment to inclusive, accessible education for all children, regardless of circumstances. By bringing learning to the streets, LEEDO ensures that even the most marginalized children have the chance to learn, grow, and achieve their potential, creating pathways out of poverty and vulnerability.
