possible, they should have passed the tenth standard examination. A child is reckoned as a

destitute child if he is: homeless, or orphaned, or abandoned

not looked after by his parents who may be extremely poverty-struck, or suffer from an illness, or are mentally challenged

exploited and made to work by his parents to generate income or made to beg. In either case, his full potential is thwarted

a single-parent child and the income of the parent is under Rs. 500 per month

comes with a recommendation from the principal / headmaster of an educational institute in the village, provided the boy is a destitute

No of Children Currently in the center: 225

Capacity of the center: 250

No trained till date from 1979 -2009: 2000 boys

No employed in different fields: 95 per cent of these boys have found jobs (electrician

/carpenter/ wielding -150 per day ) or are involved in small enterprise start-ups.-

Adoptions Facilitated: None as age group is 14-17 years

Service offered – shelter , vocational training uner ITI , boarding , lodging , and conveyance .

The process of selection is fairly simple. We partner with the Maharashtra Government's

Department of Women and Child Development. They compile the list of eligible boys based on

the inputs received from NGOs and the government-run remand homes, from all over

Maharashtra. It is from this list, that the boys are selected for admission to the home.

Transforming lives

When a boy enters the portals of the Aditya Birla Centre for Welfare of Children, he is often

diffident, indisciplined, insecure and unkempt. After spending three years at the centre, he

emerges a transformed person. He is confident of standing on his feet. He knows he can make a

living. All the bitterness that he nursed for the life that he had on the streets is gone. It is replaced

by self-assuredness, and a sense of thanksgiving for the opportunity, which he was given to turn

a new leaf.

From 1979 to date, we have managed to reach out to 2000 boys. Every year 200 boys are trained

at our orphanage. What is most rewarding is that more than 95 per cent of these boys have found

jobs or are involved in small enterprise start-ups. For all of them, the years spent at the centre

have been indeed memorable and a great learning experience. Several of them are still in touch

with us. We have made a beginning with this small step. We believe "a journey of a 1000 miles

begins with a single step". A long road lies ahead.

In gratitude.

We acknowledge the invaluable contribution and involvement of the state government of

Maharashtra. For every child, the state government accords us a grant of Rs.500/-. Of course, the

monthly expense for a single child, inclusive of his lodging, boarding, clothes, training and

traveling expenses amounts to over Rs.1,600. This is met by our trust, from donations to our

corpus funds and voluntary agencies who generously donate.

We would like to extend a special acknowledgement to all of the technical institutes who have

helped us and continue to engage in training our boys. Among these are — Shrarnik

Vidhyapeeth, Tuisi Technicals and the Children's Aid Society's ITI Units.

We are also very grateful to the After Care Association and several individual donors for their

support both in cash and in kind.

We would heartily welcome your engagement with the centre, in whatever ways you can commit

to the future of these destitute children.

32) Sadak Chap night shelters

Mumbai

Tel.:x

Fax: x


Website: http://www.sadakchaap.org/

Profile: No of children currently : about 300 boys in several places. The night shelter in

Churchgate has 70-150, Byculla has 30-45, Mulund has 8-15 and 3-4 older street boys each. The

numbers are tentative because that is the real situation the children decide if they want to come,

they choose where to stay and each night shelter has a "character" emerging. So all boys who

want to go to regular school live in Mulund, those who want to hang around occasionally go to

Dadar, those who want to become like NSDF and Mahila Milan live in Byculla, and others who

are all or any in Churchgate.

Capacity: 300

Adoptions Facilitated: None

Services Provided: Boarding , Counselling , Health services , Education

Problems

There are many problems and difficulties which accompany each of the achievements:

a. The very character of street children demands an organisational ability to survive their



http://www.sadakchaap.org/

idiosyncrasies which are often destructive to themselves and to others? its hard to balance care

and responsibility with making sure they come to no harm

b. Real relationships take time, and forging relationships between NSDF and Mahila Milan and

Street children has taken a decade since 1988? and its hard to judge it.

c. NGOs and others who work with street children have a more institutional strategy to deal with

them and that is always running counter to what the Sadak chaaps want.

d. The need to get the state to accept this process is very problematic and while its very

welcomed it cannot be accommodated in the existing schemes

Lessons:

There are lessons at many levels:

a. Street children will continue to come to cities and a wide range of options needs to be made

available to them. They need to decide at their own pace whether they want those options.

b. project cycles cannot show major transformations as lives of children change decadally and

not in a year or two.

c. As project managers we have to look at scale and multiplier effects but the creating of role

models and options and rituals are vital in the initial phases and these are not cost effective until

they are looked with a decadal perspective.

d. Non institutional arrangements are very difficult to create and sustain and there needs to be

greater understanding of what they mean among donors and policy makers who often want fast

results.

e. The concept of street children has a great fund raising appeal and a public campaign can often

overtake the process

Help Required:

Volunteers & Services Needed: No

Materials Needed: No

Donations / Support: Support Required: Sadak Chap is participating in a vibrant and innovative

process in which they assist as support and strengthen what young people are trying to do

through the federation. their lives and their evolution is the manifestation of this journey.

In the next part of this journey they look for those who seek to strengthen and support this

journey as a process. not partners who force us to look at projects and deliver goods and services.

They will design a strategy for the next three years starting from where they are, and they will try

and assist all those who want to help them achieve to understand this better and feel enthused by

it.

More details on Shraddhanand Mahila Ashram : Mortality of orphans admitted there was

phenomenally high.In the International year of the Child 1979, they developed a Special Care

Centre for Orphans in the form of a Mini Primary Care Hospital and trained the inmates to work

as Nursing aides. This simple model resulted into bringing down the mortality amongst orphans

from 80 % to less than 5 % in 10 years from 1979 to 1989. Currently the mortality is less than

1%. He has been looking after the orphans and abandoned kids for last 30 years in this

orphanage. On an average about 200 new orphans are admitted per year in this institution.

The model of orphan survival through primary health care strategy at the orphanage with

minimum inputs and rehabilitation of babies through adoption, education, vocation, marriage

have been appreciated through the State and National Awards

This organisation is now about 80 years old and the case study of this organisation makes a very

interesting humane and educative experience.

Services Offered: Education, Boarding , Lodging.

Services provided : Project Udaan was initiated in the year 1997 to provide the street children

with a platform for better living. from areas such as Charni Road, Marine Lines, Babulnath

Chowpatty and so on. Udaan’s main objective is to bring these children from street to school.

The day care Centre functions from 10.00 am to 6.30 pm on a regular basis. The rehabilitation

process involves prayers, yoga, non-formal education, medical aid, nutrition, recreation, art,

craft, spiritual education, moral education, general awareness, educational workshops, festival

celebrations and counseling. SMILE also ensures admission for these children in Municipal

schools. Children attending school receive help with their academics at the Centre and the

project team constantly encourages and motivates them to progress towards a bright future.

Those performing well are shifted to private/Govt. grant schools where the standard of education

is higher. Children excelling in a particular field receive expert training. In addition, professional

Dance class, Tuition class, Painting class is conducted for these children to well equip them for

future growth.

Achievements:

Udaan project at Babulnath:

1. SMILE started with two children in the year 1997. In a span of only eight years reaches out

to more than thousand children.

2. Over a period of years we have succeeded in moulding the children by – educating them,

developing their personality, training them and giving them stage exposure. There is tremendous

change in the attitude and personality of the children and they have developed leadership


http://www.smile-ngo.org/

qualities.

3. Tuition class project is very successful. The children have improved considerably in their

results, study patterns, concentration levels and discipline. The parents too are taking keen

interest in the education of their children as a result of frequent child parent workshops.

4. We have developed a good rapport with the management and the children of BKM High

School. The support from them is very good. The parents too are very cooperative. We have

extended our efforts to this school by working extensively with the 10th std. students in addition

to the children from the SMILE Sponsorship Project.

5. We would also like to mention that we have been very successful in developing the

personality of one of our special child Rajesh Varatia with speech and hearing impediment.

With SMILE’s intervention in terms of arranging for speech therapist, follow up, etc. has started

communicating verbally without using sign language.

6. He has become very independent, travels by himself, gives performances and is improving

academically too. He has won several certificates in school. He gave his ‘manjira’ performance

at the Christmas celebration at Oxford Book Store, Churchgate. We are very happy with his

progress.

7. Successfully institutionalized orphan children.

8. Successfully repatriated migrant children back to their village.

9. Admitted children in school.

10. Shifted children from Municipal schools to Private / Govt. grant schools.

11. Constant working with the parents have made them more co-operative now as compared to

the initial years.
