Giving street children a future
Street Children have fallen through society’s cracks. I-India is a ladder for them to climb up.
Giving street children a future
I-India is a fully registered, non-profit, non-governmental organisation. It was established in 1993 and employs a staff of eighty dedicated local people. Salaries are modest, the office is small, and we stretch our funds to maximise their impact. Unlike many other organisations, I-India has little savings, but spends what it gets.
How can we help
Abuse
Many street children flee homes due to physical or sexual abuse. Life on the streets often exposes them to further exploitation and trauma. I-India provides safe shelter, counselling, and a caring environment where children can heal and rebuild confidence.
Child Labour
Many street children are forced to work from a very young age to survive. Rag-picking, street vending, and other labour deny them education. I-India runs street schools and vocational programs to give these children learning opportunities and skills.
Health
Street children often suffer from malnutrition, illness, and poor hygiene. Living in unsafe conditions exposes them to diseases without proper medical care. I-India provides nutrition, healthcare, hygiene education, and awareness programs.
Gender Discrimination
Girls in many communities face discrimination in health, education, and opportunities. Early marriage and social pressures often limit their future. I-India supports girls through education, safe spaces, and programs that promote equality and empowerment.
Homelessness
Many children live on the streets due to poverty, migration, or family separation. Without shelter they face hunger, illness, and exploitation. I-India provides shelter, education, healthcare support, and programs to help rebuild their lives.
Poverty
Poverty forces many children to work instead of attending school. Without education their future opportunities remain limited. I-India helps break this cycle through education, vocational training, and programs that support children and their families.
