Access to Education, health, right to be heard and well being are the fundamental rights of children. We have taken this initiative to provide all these fundamental rights to every children. Many people are living below poverty line and are not able to provide education, food and good health to their children. Many poor children drop out of school, are forced to live on the streets or under exploitative conditions of labour, sexual abuse, prostitution and other forms of abuse. Many live in child-headed households where they have to fend for themselves and support their younger siblings. The root cause for this is Poverty. This makes these children highly vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, Abuse and exploitation. There is a need to address the above by establishing appropriate interventions.
There is a need to carry out appropriate empowerment of these children. This process as it is, addresses the symptoms but not the primary causes of the problem; such children need to be empowered with sellable skills for self-sustenance, communities, schools, religious institutions and families need to understand their role in supporting Orphans and vulnerable children those who are in and out of school. Supportive systems must be put in place with active participation of all stakeholders to address this challenge. It is this critical ingredient of sellable vocational skills that this project seeks to add to the existing efforts.
With our project "Empower Children World" - ECW we would like to provide educational support through topping up school fees for those children who would otherwise drop out. Scholastic materials including exercise books, Textbooks, Pens, Geometry sets will be provided for these children. This Educational support component can best be funded by soliciting for individual sponsors for each child.
In addition, supportive school visits shall be made to the schools and homes to follow up the progress of the children. Our volunteers and staff will do this role by counseling and guiding these children. And to extend our reach we need public support.
The MIC boasts of experienced and committed volunteers and a supportive community with which it works for the improvement of the lives of the children. It is important to note while all is being done, our volunteers handle these children as if they were their own. It is of no doubt that when Mother India Care is adequately funded, there will be great transformation in the lives of these children. This testifies to the organization’s capacity to impart skills and empower poor, orphans and vulnerable children.
The MIC is seeking support and contribution to serve a wider area and to increase on the range of skills and empowerment available to the poor and orphans. We strngly feel that children are the future of our country and supporting children is strengthening our nation. Please click here to support a child. |
