Migrants from different states of India migrate to urban areas and big cities in search of a livelihood. Working mostly in the construction sector, the families live in poor housing conditions that lackssafety and basic amenities. Their children, especially those under 6 years, lack access to a safe environment, learning and growth opportunities due to poverty. Older children are engaged mostly in sibling care and housework due to which they are deprived of education.
The children, especially girls, face the risk of under-age marriage and different forms of verbal, sexual and physical abuse.
Started in 2015, the Mobile Creche programme makes it possible for children of construction labourers to access early childhood care, health care and activities leading to physical and intellectual development.
Supporting children agedfrom 0 to 14 years, the Mobile Crècheprogramme also engages parents, builders, communitiesand Government stakeholders in improving the lives of the children and their families.
