Education for Children of Migrant Labour Programme
The children of migrant labourers, who move to cities in search of employment, face disruption of education due to the nature of their parents’ work. Often relegated to living in makeshift housing at construction sites and under flyovers, countless such children grow up without basic education and facilities. We at the Foundation seek to bring them into the fold of school education, by designing a curriculum that include all children regardless of their ability.
