More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
4256 children (age 6-14) from poor economic and social backgrounds are engaged as Child labourers in the ancilliary heavy industries: automobile units, wind mill erection plants and quarrying industries in the Trichirappalli Town. The industrial growth in and around the Town in the past 2 decades has its negative impact on the children. They are paid low wages and are exploited as their parents are less educated and have no means to support the educational needs of their children.
Activities
Orientation to identified child labourers. Introduction of proposed outcomes to the parents. Workshop on evils of child labour. Identification of resources. Orientation to staff. Conduct of class, yoga, skill training. Admission to regular schools.
