| Outreach | |||||||||
 The ability to reach street children where they live and work has always
represented a fundamental aspect of our work. Kalki views its centre-based
activities as an extension of its outreach work on the streets of
Pondicherry where the most vulnerable children and their families spend
their days.
Through our outreach program we are able to meet the families and children directly on the street. Our outreach team operates daily in specific areas and becomes the direct point of contact between Kalki and the children, their families, indeed the whole community. Confidence and trust is vital. It is crucial to understand each child's family background and situation in order to work with them effectively. 
For each child, our outreach workers create unique, tailored plans that are
specifically prepared to fulfill their individual needs. These plans
encompass the various services that Kalki and its partners provide,
including education, recreation, vocational training and medical care. The
outreach workers continually monitor the progress of the child, who can ask
to revise the plan at any time. The child has constant access to senior
members of the teamin order to discuss any problems she or he may be
experiencing. |
