ACT Projects
Urban Poor "Aao School Chale" Initiative
The children and their families include the migrants from West Bengal
and Bihar, residing in the outskirts of Gurgaon city. These migrants
come in search for livelihood and better standard of living from their
native villages which do not provide them with such opportunities. They
live in a make shift temporary tents provided to them by some agent on
a monthly rental basis. The migrants residing in these slums are
involved into housekeeping job like cleaning, washing, cooking,
gardening and full time maids. As both the parent are engaged into some
kinds of livelihood, the children are vagabond, wondering in the
street, either rag picking , working as servants begging or involved
into non productive activities. The parents do have interest to send
their children to school but because of lack of information,
affordability and accessibility, they do not send their children to
school. These children seek facilitators which will provide them with
opportunities through quality education, good health and a secured
future.
