KV, KATHMANDU children make their presence felt at the STORY BOOK WRITING workshop at Rato Bangla School.
Set up in 1988, Katha is a profit-for-all voluntary organization seamlessly connecting grassroots work in education, urban poverty alleviation and literacy. Katha runs 98 schools in slum communities in Delhi and reaches out to 200,000 children through a unique Reading Programme. Katha’s efforts are inspired by the vision of empowering children to become community leaders through education, transforming their lives as well as that of their communities.

Katha endeavors to spread the joy of reading, knowing, and living amongst adults and children, the common reader and the neo-literate. It started its reading programs with a children’s magazine for first generation school-goers. Through cooperative action and activism, it brings together parents, teachers and others who are keen to increase children’s engagement with reading. Katha leverages its mission goal on a single powerful idea, that children can help their communities get out of poverty, and bring change that is sustainable and real.
ICC has involved teenagers from four schools, namely, Kendriya Vidyalaya, Embassy of India in Kathmandu; Rato Bangla School, Patandhoka, Lalitpur; UCEP, School for Underprivileged Children, Bhaktapur and Triyog H.S. School, Kathmandu, and one teacher from each school to participate in this learning process of three days story book writing workshop.
