Close to the railway platform there was a family with six children in a dilapidated house. The father of the family was a drunkard and the mother had no means to take care of her 6 chidlren. A call to our helpline number came at 6 o'clock in the morning. The caller said that the children were starving and they had no food and needed urgent help. Our team rushed to the spot and studied the situation and found that indeed there was nothing for the children to eat and fire in the oven was last burnt 3 days before.
We intervened with the mother and with the order from the Child Welfare Committee we resuced the mother and chidlren fromt he home and the father of the family was not anywhere in picture. The chidlren have been sheltered at our cnetre and their basic need of food was not satisfied for many days.
Presently through our intervention the mother has a job and the children have food to eat and other basic necessities are taken care of. They are attending school regularly and there is happiness and joy on their faces.
