 Many children are on the streets because they must care for a younger
sibling rather than attend school, have been asked by their families to beg
or simply because they have nowhere else to go. For these reasons, they are
simply unable to access the Kalki centres or local school. Isolated fromeducation and without reading materials or games, many of these children become sick, remain illiterate and lack basic social skills - all of which serve to perpetuate the cycle of poverty and ignorance.
In order to reach hundreds of these children, in the city and more isolated areas, Kalki has a mobile library van that takes toys, games and educational materials directly to the areas where the children live and work. It operates throughout the day and offers children most in need informal learning opportunities and a chance to develop some practical skills. Most importantly, it allows the children to play and have fun. 
This program serves as a supplement to our outreach program by allowing us to link these children with Kalki's education program and allows us to develop a relationship with their families. |
