This project would prevent school dropout of 400 children from extremely poverty stricken families, for both children residing in the Children's and Observation Homes and children discharged from these homes thereby eliminating the risks of dropout children (re)turning to crime or becoming child laborers.
Challenge
Children's and Observation homes in Mumbai house children, often from highly poverty stricken families. They are traumatized by their stint in these homes, suffer unspeakable stigma and struggle to lead a normal life. The children who live in these Homes come from different states of India, and hence different language backgrounds are educated in a Marathi medium school. The language difference makes it difficult for them to be motivated and continue their education.
Long-Term Impact
This project will ensure 400 children continue their education every year and equip themselves to become positive contributors to society.
