Ladli-Project aims to Economical Empowerment of Street and Working Children
Ladli is located in the poor desert city of Jaipur, India. For most of our children their alternative is begging, child labour, or even prostitution, but at Ladli they learn to make jewellery and handicrafts - valuable skills in Jaipur. The children are also taught Hindi, English, Art and Dance, and provided nutrition, medical check-ups and counselling. Most importantly of all they gain confidence, hope and self-esteem. We believe that in addition to providing children education and employability, Ladli is a place where emotional trauma and the stresses of poverty can in some way be healed.

AASARA a project for street children
Every day a street child living in AASARA means a day of fun and frolic, a chance
to have a nice bath, attend school, avail of medical attention the assurance of a
good whole some meal and of course love. The venue is AASARA shelter situated
at Dighe, Navi-Mumbai.
The problems faced by the street children and run away youth at the Thane,
Kalyan, Kurla Railway Stations are multiple. They are the most vulnerable of street
children/youth found in Thane district because a majority of them are Rag pickers
and some work at the scrap dealer’s shops. (Almost 75% of these youth are
ADDICTED to some substance) (Tobacco, Solvent, Brown sugar Ganja etc).
Gambling is a very common feature amongst these youth.
AIM AND OBJECTIVE:
1. To make available basic services like education, prevention and Curative
Health, Nutrition, Vocational Training and Recreation.
2. To make available counselling, Guidance, Protection from exploitation,
provision for night shelter and to promote entrepreneurship.
3. To make them aware of their potential Rights by which they can utilise
their inherent resources more productively.
4. To join hands with organizations operating within or outside the country
having a common or complementary objectives committed for this cause.
5. To promote people's participation, initiate and motivate more individuals
into this project.
6. To bring about public awareness of the problems faced by the children.
WHAT THEY DO ? .........................
Some children work as RAG PICKERS, COOLIES, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS SHOE SHINE BOYS, WADI WORKERS; WAITERS AT
ROADSIDE STALLS and a few of them beg.
LIVING CONDITIONS ....................
The living conditions of these children are pathetic. They stay below bridges, railway platforms and below at construction sites.
WORKING CONDITIONS ..................
The working conditions of these children are a cause of occupational hazard. As a result these children have various HEALTH problems such as TB.,skin disease, and Aids, etc. It is seen that the brutal working conditions affect
their HEALTH.
EXPLOITATION .............................
The children have always been exploited at the hands of POLICE, EMPLOYERS,STREET GOONDAS, DADAS, GROWN UP CHILDREN, and LOCAL PEOPLE.
They are given meagre wages for their work by their employers.
EDUCATIONAL STATUS ..................
The children do not have any formal schooling, because of poverty and poor economic status.
NUTRITION STATUS.................
Due to meagre income they have very low nutritional status and the food they eat is from garbage, roadsides, leftover and begging.
This is all about boys and youth but what about S T R E E T GIRLS who have been neglected, exploited etc. In our own society human beings who - are UNSKILLED, unpaid, underpaid girl child labourers are neglected by the society, because she is a girl child. The discrimination the girl child faces indoors continues outdoors when she goes out to work. Cooking, sweeping, washing, scrubbing are the chores for a girl child which never ends. Apart from this she must face the work at her work place, also because she is a girl child.
WHO SHOULD DO IT ? YOU, ME OR THE SOCIETY ?
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THIS?
YOU, ME OR THE SOCIETY?
BUT WHO IS THE SOCIETY ...........???

Dialogue on the National Food Security Act April 19, 2010 Constitution Club, New Delhi
RIGHT TO FOOD CAMPAIGN
Dear Friends,
Thousands of people from all over the country have travelled to the Dharna on the streets of Delhi under the umbrella of the Right to Food Campaign to protest against the proposed National Food Security Act which we consider an insult to our current situation of hunger, starvation and malnutrition.
You must be aware of the debates in the Empowered Group of Ministers (eGoM) on Food Security around the National Food Security Bill. We are deeply disappointed with the narrow manner in which the Bill is being visualised, where the government seeks to restrict the proposed Act to only providing 25kgs of foodgrains to a limited number of Below Poverty Line (BPL) households. This is meaningless in the face of high malnutrition, spiraling prices, drought and deepening hunger. Such a minimalist view is inadequate to address the issue of providing food and nutrition security to the people of this country. Instead, the NFSA must be seen as an opportunity to not only address the injustice of large-scale hunger and malnutrition in the country but also to revitalise domestic food production and agriculture. For this, the Act must deal with at least some of the causes of hunger and provide each and every resident of this country with food entitlements.
We would like to invite you for this discussion which we are holding on 19th April on the NFSA. The meeting will be held on 19th of April from 4.00pm onwards at the Constitution Club, New Delhi. We hope you will be able to join us.
Yours sincerely,

On the first day, the children sat in mixed group of rural and urban schools. Group exercises and games helped to break the ice and soon the students starting conversing like old friends. There were about three hundred children from Assam, Bihar, Bengal, Kerala, Maharashtra and New Delhi. The students from rural India presented fold dances and songs and got a roaring response from the audience. The second day was about the 'Seeking Solutions' to problems faced by rural India. It involved presentations given by various urban schools. The students of St. Mark's Girls Sr. Sec. School spoke about the problem of tobacco consumption in rural India. They presented several practical solutions to the problem with the help of a street play and met a very encouraging response from the judges. The third day started with an interactive session followed by a cultural programme. The third day session culminated with a Bal Sabha. This event proved to be a valuable experience for the students that opened their vistas of knowledge.
