According to Census 2011, there are 4.5 million child-laborers between the age of 5-14 in India . 1/3rd of these children work as waste pickers.
These children often live on the street and earn a livelihood to support their families and in the process become vulnerable to exploitation by others and to a variety of physical and moral dangers. Waste picking ranks lowest in the hierarchy of urban informal occupations and a large number of those employed in this occupation are women and children. Illiterate, unskilled persons, migrants, those lowest in the caste hierarchy and the poorest of the poor, predominantly work as waste pickers, as they are unable to find any other kind of employment.
In the research conducted in 2013 we found that out of 130 children 90%+ were either drop-outs or they were never enrolled in any school.
60%+ children accepted that they eat Tobacco or Gutkha.
As these children spend most of their time in unhygienic environment, health issues such as cuts on hands and legs, animal bites and skin diseases were very common.
Lack of access and awareness to education is behind the continued state of the problems within these communities.Apart from Education, health & hygiene; social stigmatization, substance abuse are common problems.
The idea is to create an eco-system of learning and support for street children. It is achieved through community Learning Centers as well as learning centers within schools called as Anandghar (A Home of Happiness). These centers act as a bridge between children, parents, schools and society at large. They provide basic formal & informal education and skills to street children specially child waste pickers and child labors and make them capable of joining main stream schools to cope with the learning process in the school. To give these children a fair chance to live a life with dignity and ensure that they follow the path of education towards a better future we are focusing on:
