PROJECT PROPOSAL ON ORPHAN CHILDREN HOME
In our project area number of Orphan, Semi Orphan and Street
Children are found. The problem of orphan / street children is acute due to
urbanization and industrialization. Due to the deaths of HIV/AIDS affected
persons, Re-marriage of deserted / widowed / divorce women, absence of love and
security in the families, Family disputes, Unwanted pregnancy of Trafficking /
Sexually exploited girls; these orphan and street children are left without
care and support. These children are involved in rag picking; pick pocketing
and participating in anti social, criminal activities. Therefore, we envisage
mainstreaming these children in the national building by providing care,
support and protection in our ORPHAN CHILDREN HOME.
Our Mission:
Mainstreaming the Orphan, Semi Orphan and Street children in
the national building by providing care, support & protection through
shelter, food, and education is our mission.
The Project – An Overview:
In spite of planned development and special provision for
accelerated socio-economic development of neglected/disadvantaged sections, the
issue of orphan, semi orphan and street children is not properly addressed. In
our project area many Orphan, Semi Orphan and Street Children are found. The
problem of orphan / street children is acute due to urbanization and
industrialization. Due to the Deaths of HIV/AIDS affected persons, Re-marriage
of Deserted / Widowed / Divorce women, Absence of love and security in the
families, Family disputes, Unwanted pregnancy of Trafficking / Sexually exploited
girls; these orphan and street children are left without care and support.
These children are involved in rag picking; pick pocketing and participating in
anti social, criminal activities. Therefore, we envisage mainstreaming these
children in the national building by providing care, support and protection in
our ORPHAN CHILDREN HOME. The project proposed in this scheme is meant for
additional support to run the orphan children home.
