This project will affect around 400 marginalized children living on and around the railway station who have no access to school. The barriers to education for such children arise both from the external environment and from the children's own unique predicament of deprivation. These children are not merely out of school; the very concept of education is unknown to them.
To set up an extensive network of schools, vocational training programs, shelters, non-formal education centers, a crisis help-line, and scholarships with the aim to assist children in claiming their right to education.
