AN NGO is pursuing a noble and heartbreaking mission: rescuing children from brick kilns and giving them a better future through education and nutrition. Prem Seva Mahila Mandal is an NGO in Maharashtra that was founded by Stella Morais and is working tirelessly to combat the severe malnutrition afflicting tribal children in the brick kilns. These children, caught in the throes of poverty, are often forced into child labor, earning meager wages that barely sustain their families. In response to this dire situation, Stella and her NGO have initiated a life-changing mission to provide education and nutritious meals to over 1,000 children daily, offering them a chance to break free from the cycle of generational poverty.
The struggle of brick kiln workers’ children
In the harsh reality of brick kilns, the level of malnutrition among tribal children is alarming. Parents, grappling with meager wages, find it increasingly challenging to provide even two proper meals for their families. Consequently, many children are compelled to join the labor force, working for as little as ₹20 per day. Stella Morais and her NGO, moved by the plight of these children, decided to take matters into their own hands through the establishment of Prem Seva Mahila Mandal.
A life-changing mission
Stella Morais, the driving force behind Prem Seva Mahila Mandal, recognized the urgent need to address the severe malnutrition plaguing these young souls. The NGO’s primary mission is twofold: providing nutritious meals and imparting education. The meal program by this groundbreaking NGO has been extended to over 3,000 children in the past 15 years, with a current focus on serving over 1,000 children each day.

Stella’s vision
Stella has expressed the gravity of the situation, stating, “children as young as 2 years old, with severe deformities in their limbs, are just skin and bones. Without our meal program, these children will be left in a lurch and it will affect their mental state severely.” Stella and her NGO are not just addressing hunger; they are shaping the future of these children by breaking the shackles of poverty and providing them with a chance for education and a better life.
Impact on child labor
Prem Seva Mahila Mandal is not only combating malnutrition but the NGO is also addressing the pervasive issue of child labor around brick kilns. Stella highlighted, “little children are made to work from early morning for as little as ₹20 a day.” By providing education and alternative opportunities, the NGO aims to break the vicious cycle that forces children into early labor.
The role of donors
Stella emphasizes that none of the positive changes would be possible without the support of donors. The NGO relies on the generosity of individuals and organizations to fund their meal programs and educational initiatives. Stella and her NGO urge everyone to come forward and contribute to saving these children from a life of suffering and poverty.
Transformation through support
Over the years, Prem Seva Mahila Mandal has witnessed a drastic improvement in the health and learning ability of the children in their programs. The joy on the faces of the children when they receive hot, nutritious meals is unparalleled. The NGO not only feeds their bodies but also nourishes their minds, offering a pathway to mainstream education.
