  • Child Line Service

    District

    I-India had started running Rajasthan’s first CHILDLINE service in Jaipur in the year 2000. Childline is an emergency helpline service supported under the Integrated Child Protection Scheme of the Ministry of Women and Child Development, which works round the clock to aid any child below the age of 18 who is or likely to be injured, sick, exploited, abused, in danger, or lonely. They might be street children living on the pavement or railway station, or children living in ordinary families.

    Child Line serves as a support system for numerous children annually, with many simply seeking information, advice, or someone to talk to but in more serious cases, I-India dispatches its ambulance to provide medical assistance. In situations where the child has been abandoned or run away from home, intervention may be necessary. The Child Line staff strives to locate the child's family and reunite them, but if this is not possible or not in the child's best interest, we not only respond to the emergency needs of children but also link them to relevant services for their long-term care and rehabilitation. I-India's homes provide a long-term solution. Children are referred to the key authorities and services essential for their immediate or long-term rehabilitation. Overall, Child Line acts as a safety net for countless children every year.

  • Shwetaark Education Project

    District

    SHWETAARK is a collaborative effort between Flowering Tree, USA, and I-India, with the objective of providing educational opportunities to children from transient communities. The project's focus is to kindle a passion for learning, promote empowerment, and personal growth in street and slum children through its street schools/centers and the newly established Shwetaark Pathshala formal school.

    The project has been active for over two decades, starting in 2010, and has worked with over 14 communities by establishing teaching centers, or street schools, for the children of slum dwellers and street children. Most of these children are first-generation learners and have never had access to quality education, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation, poor health, gender discrimination, and domestic violence due to alcoholism. Initially, Shwetaark provided the children with basic necessities such as water, healthcare, hygiene awareness, and food. However, as the project progressed, the children's lives became more organized, and they started attending centers regularly, maintaining clean spaces, taking showers, and attending classes.

    Over time, these stable centers evolved into a formal school that adheres to state guidelines and incorporates art and sports into its curriculum. This has provided the children with exposure to a broader range of subjects and co-curricular activities which is vital for their growth, learning and wholistic development.

    In 2018, the state government recognized and accredited the formal school, and currently 300 students from 10 urban slums attending formal education in Shwetaark Pathshala and additional 100 children in slum areas have received after-school support.
