Abstract

This project improved the quality of life for rag picker communities by providing education, sanitation awareness, and childcare support, helping children and families lead healthier and more secure lives.

Detailed Description

The project focused on supporting rag picker communities by improving access to education, sanitation, and childcare services. Children received educational support in a safe learning environment, while parents were encouraged to prioritize education and child development alongside their livelihoods. The initiative also promoted sanitation and hygiene awareness through community education on personal hygiene, clean drinking water, waste management, and disease prevention. Childcare services provided a safe and nurturing space for young children, allowing parents to work while ensuring their children received proper care and early learning opportunities. By addressing education, health, and childcare together, the project helped improve living conditions, promote healthier communities, and create better opportunities for children and their families.
