Mainstreaming child labourers - Ahmedabad, Gujarat

The project will work with 105 child labourers in Ahmedabad to help them enter mainstream education and/or receive vocational training. It will also work with employers and the families of these children to help them explore alternatives available to them.

Child Labour is still a large issue, now with the enforcement of laws against this practice, many children work in the shadows and false ages are reported. These children are either migrants or work to support their families. They have no options for an education or a childhood. There is a need to encourage employers to allow these children to be a part of the program where they can study, learn and interact with other children. This is being carried out over the past year in 3 centres in Ahmedabad – supporting approximately 105 children.
