Helping the WOOPIEs (Way-out-of-poverty-is-education)

School is not an option for all children due to the nomadic life of their parents. As a result, these children get involved in begging & anti-social activities. They have no option to avail any education which leads them to beg for food. They also don't have opportunities for cleanliness and hygiene which are basic necessities. They are often malnourished and lack basic three healthy meals leading to illnesses and various ailments. Facing the harsh weather is a challenge without shoes and proper clothing which again leads to multiple health problems. We would like to hold vaccination camps for children just as we have been holding for adults for the COVID 19 vaccination.

Children are brought from the near-by slums and are provided with food, clothing, stationery, hygiene products - soaps, toothbrushes, toothpaste etc & are given education in a non-formal way through storytelling, games, fun activities by the volunteers from various universities national & international.  

Vaccination and COVID 19 protocol awareness camps will be held for the children.

1. Overall development of slum children in terms of personality & basic knowledge.
2. Reduced involvement in other anti-social activities.
3. Nutritional deficiencies are taken care of.
4. The slum children get encouraged to enter into the nearby government schools as they develop interest in education.
5. Basic health and hygiene are secured.
6. COVID 19 vaccination camps will protect the children from the deadly virus. Awareness camps will help them to maintain safety protocols and also create awareness in their surrounding areas.
