Child Labour Elimination & Education Programme
Millions of children in India are forced to work instead of learn. Trapped by poverty, denied education, and written out of opportunity before they even begin.
We break the cycle of poverty by rescuing, educating, and protecting vulnerable children across India.
Hand in hand for a larger impact
How we make a difference
Community mobilisation
We mobilise communities to end child labour at its root
By identifying vulnerable children at their doorsteps and empowering local leaders, parents, and teachers to protect them, we build resilient ecosystems that stop child labour before it starts.

Doorstep identification drives
We go door to door to find children at risk of child labour or dropout, making sure no child is invisible or left behind.
Awareness and advocacy
We shift minds and spark action through advocacy
We challenge harmful norms, prevent dropouts and ignite social change through vibrant cultural campaigns and street theatre, and by engaging with children in hazardous work and their caregivers directly.

Integrated Children Development Centres (ICDCs)
Providing children with safe, stable places against streets, labour, or substance abuse in urban slums and high-risk communities.
WASH education
Educating the importance of hygiene, sanitation, and clean habits and preventing school absenteeism due to preventable diseases.
Engagement with high-risk industry clusters
We directly reach children working in firecracker units and mica mines to pull them out of exploitative work and into school-based learning.
Education and rehabilitation
We bring out-of-school children back, and move them forward
We open doors to new futures by providing intensive learning, counselling, nutrition, and stability for children out-of-school or in labour, tribal youth and girls.
