Economic compulsions and poverty force the children on to the street to earn a living and support their families
They take up various economic activities, such as vending, shoe shining, begging, and rag picking
Certain communities that are involved traditionally into begging and rag picking pass on the tradition to their children and push them on to the street from infancy itself
They are into a vicious cycle and they have not been provided an opportunity for different way of living and children enabled towards growing up with dignity and self worth
Mangarwadi, a tribe whose traditional occupation is begging reside at Gittikadhan
Their children are into begging and rag picking as an economical activity along with their family members
They are deprived of their childhood and basic rights to education and dignified living
ICID has initiated work among these children and manages a care and support centre
The centre has been providing basic facilities, recreational, hygiene and non formal educational services to these children with the local support
170 children have been accessing these services and 65 of them are involved in small saving through an initiative named ‘Mera Galla’ and bank accounts have been opened for them in Corporation Bank
The project proposes to reach out to these children on the street and break the chain of beggary and rag picking by strengthening the initial work with regular educational and vocational trainings
The total number of families: 57 Number of children in the age category of 3-5
are 21 Number of children in the age category of 6 –
14 are 108 Number of children in the age category of 15 –
18 are 61 Among these male are 111 and female are 79 Among these children161 of them have never
been to a school and 29 of them are enrolled in school but irregular or dropped out
Goal of the Project: Improved sense of self worth and
empowerment towards dignified living Objectives:To enable increased number of children to
opt out from begging and rag picking and mainstream them through education
