| Project Name | Comprehensive Day Care Programmes for children of migrant construction workers and other marginalised communities |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 881870 |
| Project Description | At Mumbai Mobile Crèches, we believe that every child has a fundamental right to education, adequate healthcare, and safety. To put this belief into practice, we run child friendly centres for children living on construction sites and from other underprivileged communities. These centres not only keep children out of harm’s way but also address their educational and health needs so that they are able to enjoy their childhood in a setting that is safe and supportive.
Through the contribution, we supported comprehensive day care programmes for children living on 17 construction sites, five brick kilns, and two slums.
Our day care centres;
• Support the cognitive, emotional and physical development of very young children and build a strong foundation for the enrolment and retention of children in school
• Free older children from the burden of childcare and help them enrol and do well in school
• Enable parents, especially mothers, to enter and/or stay in the work place while their children are in our care
• Provide guidance and support to parents on education, health, nutrition and other relevant social issues
