WE AIM TO HELP THE CHILDREN
MOST VULNERABLE AND AT RISK OF ABUSE.
Hundreds of thousands of children roam in the streets in cities across India. These children usually have homes and parents. But in most cases, the parents work as day labourers and so are unable to care for their children. Left to their own resources during the day, they beg for their meals and work for a pittance for unscrupulous business owners.
Outreach through Shelters and Community Centres is the second tier in our approach towards ensuring happy childhoods to every child. We decided to reach out to the children on the streets by providing a safe place to have a hot meal, a shower, and receive counselling. We help enrol these children in a local government school and follow-up with remedial classes after school hours. With the help of our donors, the children receive free books, uniforms and other essentials to make attending school easy on the family. We also conduct counselling and skill-building classes in the centres. The children return to their homes in the evening.

LITTLE ACORNS
Little Acorns, in the coastal village of Calangute, in North Goa caters to the children of migrant construction workers. Tourism is the main source of income in this area and during the peak tourist season people from the neighbouring states migrate to Goa in search of jobs. The children accompanying them are often sent to work in the market or left to beg on the streets.

WHAT WE DO
CHILDREN'S HOMES
These are the children who live on the streets, under bridges and beside railway stations. Some are orphans or have suffered abusive environments.
SHELTERS
Shelters provide a safe place for children on the streets, to have a hot meal, a shower, and receive counselling and support in their education.
COMMUNITY CENTRES
Outreach through Community Centres is part of the second tier in our approach towards ensuring happy childhoods to every child.
EDUCATION
Primary education is compulsory and free for all children in India. But the children we work with come from families where no member has seen a school.
