There are around 10000 families who work in rice mills as bonded laborers in Thiruvallur district, Tamilnadu. Bharathi Trust plays a key role in rescuing them and till date, 300 families have been successfully rescued and rehabilitated.
In addition to providing rehabilitation for the adults, Bharathi Trust aims at mainstreaming the children (175 till date, projected total number is around 2700) of these families. Asha in collaboration with Bharathi Trust intends to create a ‘Child Friendly Center’ wherein children will be trained with basic skills and education like counting numbers, reading alphabets, craft work, drawing etc.
