Children of Domestic Workers
The children of domestic workers often face social and economic challenges that hinder their access to quality education and personal development. Through the formation of Children’s Parliaments, evening learning centers, and scholarship support, we provide them with a platform to learn, lead, and thrive. From career guidance to soft skill development and menstrual hygiene education, every initiative is designed to nurture their confidence and ensure their rights are protected. By observing important days like the Day of Hope, Anti-Child Labour Day, and Children’s Day, we aim to inspire awareness and celebrate the potential of every child
