This school would house children aged between 2.5 to 5 years. Since the parents of these children are employed (agriculture & beedi rolling) as day laborers, elder children are being forced to look after the younger ones and hence the regular education is denied. In some cases where this child is the only one, they are being taken to work and hence being exposed to tobacco which causes TB. The school aims to accomplish the following:
In addition to basic care and education the project would provide free text books, note books, food, clothing, and minimal healthcare.
