These children live on the streets of Pondicherry, where they wonder around all day in search of tourists and begging for money. They spend their time standing on roadsides, playing on the beach and sometimes smuggling goods from small shops. Some of them have been in school but dropped out, while others have never been enrolled. At night they might go back to their families on the street, where they are often exposed to all types of dangers.

At its community spaces Kalki offers home-cooked food, clean and secure shelter, health services, day care, remedial education and recreational activities to those children in need of care. Bringing a full-range of services to the children, Kalki aims to empower them and give equal opportunities to every child.

Kalki strives to cooperate with every organization, government agency and business in Pondicherry to ensure the best possible quality of services for the most vulnerable children. Our focus is on reaching the most marginalized children, enabling them to access existing services provided by government and civil society. We aim to fill any gaps in these services to ensure that every child at risk is protected and offered a chance for a better future.
