Certain communities that are involved traditionally into begging and rag picking pass on the tradition to their children and push them on to the street from infancy itself. They are into a vicious cycle and have not been provided an opportunity for different way of living and children are not enabled towards growing up with dignity and self worth.
Mangarwadi, a tribe whose traditional occupation is begging reside at Gittikadhan. Their children are into begging and rag picking as an economical activity along with their family members. They are deprived of their childhood and basic rights to education and a dignified living.
ICID has initiated work among these children and manages a care and support center. The center has been providing basic facilities, recreational, hygiene and non formal educational services to these children with the local support. 170 children have been accessing these services and 65 of them are involved in small saving through an initiative named ‘Mera Galla’ and bank accounts that have been opened for them in Corporation Bank.
The project proposes to reach out to these children on the street and break the chain of beggary and rag picking by strengthening the initial work with regular educational and vocational trainings.
