Samarpan Trust
Children in Samarpan's Daycare are provided with uniforms, hygiene supplies, backpacks, shoes and all their educational needs. They are usually only with us for a short period of time, as they often have to move to find work. Therefore, we focus heavily on teaching them their rights, basic reading and writing skills, good social habits, avenues to find help, and health and self-defense skills.
In addition, children are provided 2 meals and 2 snacks a day, education, a nurturing environment, opportunities to play and compete, TV, music & dance, arts and crafts, etc.
Samarpan identifies children of seasonal migrant workers’ families in our community. Eighty per cent of the children of seasonal migrant workers never access education in India. These children live on the roadside, do not attend school, and often assist their parents in work, or play in the construction sites all day.
Children of migrant workers are ostracized. While there are many organizations offering free education to poor children, there is almost no organization dedicated to the children of migrant laborer families.
Samarpan identifies these children in our communities. We counsel the parents and help them realize how important it is for their children to receive even a basic education.
