Our aim is to enroll all working children in schools and
to make the target areas ‘child labour free’. Starting from
Chennai and now in Thiruvallur district, so far .....
children have been enrolled in schools. We take care of the
children from 0-5 age group in Day Care Centres (called
Balwadi). Children in the age group 6-14 are formed in
Children’s Clubs. They are enrolled in schools, given
non-formal education and supplementary education.
We meet run away children at the point of their entry into
the city and provide counseling. Those willing to go back
are restored to their parents. Children who decline are
housed in the shelter home. Many of such Jeeva Jyothi
children have completed secondary level education
successfully and some are in the Universities pursuing
higher studies.
Education, health, participatory and creative training,
rehabilitation, recreation, all round growth are some of the
key priorities of Jeeva Jyothi for the children in our
coverage.
