Child Care & Development

In families living below the poverty line and low-income families, children are forced to drop out of school, and face the constant threat of abuse from abusive and alcoholic fathers. Many of them feel unsafe and threatened in their very homes, schools or in the homes of friends and relatives. In this situation, all aspects of their development, including physical and mental growth, academic life, recreation and sports, are adversely affected.

With the firm belief that no child should be denied of holistic and comprehensive development opportunities due to poverty or because of their circumstances, Sparsha Trust designed the Child Care and Development program. The projects that are being implemented under this program align with Sparsha Trust’s core belief that an investment in education pays the best interest. Since a decade, it’s efforts have led to enrolment of hundreds of children, especially the drop outs, in school and college.

The projects under Child Care and Development, which are both day care centres as well as residential ones, have been successful in holistic transformation of children. These projects focus not just on the children’s access to nutrients enriched food, clothing, safe and comfortable accommodation, health care but also on education, sports, creative and recreational activities.

It is alarming to note that about 32 million Indian children of age up to 13 years have never attended any school, and the majority of them belong to the socially disadvantaged class. Of which, in Karnataka the number of children in the 6-14 age group, who are not enrolled to school has been dropping down over the years. In a survey conducted in 2021 the count has come down to 1.6% from 6.4% the previous year.
