Target group
Open Shelters in urban and
semi-urban areas will cater to all children in need of care and protection
particularly beggars, street and working children, rag pickers, small vendors,
street performers, orphaned, deserted, trafficked and run-away children,
children of migrant population and any other vulnerable group of children.
Objectives
We provide permanent
residential facilities for children but will complement the existing
institutional care facilities. The objectives of these Open Shelters include:
I. To attract above-mentioned target group of children from their
present vulnerable life situation to a safe environment.
II. To wean these children away from the vulnerable situations by
sustained interventions.
III. To guide these children away from high risk and socially deviant
behaviors.
IV. To provide opportunities for education and develop their
potential and talent.
V. To enhance life-skills and reduce their vulnerabilities to
exploitation.
VI. To reintegrate these children into families, alternative care
and community.
VII. To carryout out regular follow up to ensure that children do not
return to vulnerable situations.
