Recommendations • Saath has the potential to expand in other villages and states and should look forward to this in the upcoming year. • They need to upgrade and improve upon some of the programs that they are running, like one of the CFS centers was poorly maintained and more than 30 children were accommodated along with the teacher in a very small room. These things should be taken into consideration and the children should be provided with better facilities. • Regular visits should be made to the villages they work in, in order to make sure that things are in place and administered properly.
