"One day I want to be a policeman."

Deepak lives under the Nehru Place flyover with his father and step-mother. Deepak was lured into substance abuse by other children and started inhaling correction fluid. There was no time or money for school.

Now, Deepak’s life is changing with the help of Street to School, an Aviva initiative that helps street children into education. He attends a local centre in India funded by Aviva and run by Save the Children where he’s being prepared for full-time school.

Aviva’s Street to School programmes worldwide recognise that every child living and working on the street has the right to fulfil their potential. We aim to help 500,000 children by 2015. To date we’ve helped 128,000 children and Aviva employees have dedicated over 26,000 hours of volunteering to Street to School programmes.
