About

Mumbai Mobile Creches aims to create child-friendly construction sites where every child is safe, healthy and educated. The core areas of work of the Read moreorganisation include education, health, nutrition, hygiene, training and community outreach. The organisation believes in moving along with the migrant communities, So, as soon as work gets over at one site and the community starts to exit, the organisation too, packs up and moves out of that location to set up Its services at the next site.


Issue

Children of migrant populations like construction workers lack basic facilities of education, nutrition and healthcare due to the nature of the work their parents are involved in.

Action

MMC acts to provide education, nutrition and healthcare facilities to the children of construction workers at the site itself. Its operations are quick to set up and dismantle enabling It to move to new sites quickly and with minimum disturbance.
