We optimistically believe in change. And we believe that change can be brought about only through education.
Among the various objectives and initiatives Mercy Foundation undertakes, education gets prime importance. Modern education is a process of learning from real-life experiences as well as by sensing the various happenings in our society. Only in this way does education become relevant to everyday life. Individuals must be provided with educational possibilities in order to fully develop their identities.
St Joseph’s Convent School is located in one of the remotest rural areas of Punjab. The local demographics include 28 percent of people belonging to backward classes.

We become happy when they have a smile on their face.
