Vulnerable, destitute and runaway children live precarious lives in and around railway platforms in Kolkata. Many of these children are addicted to substances and get pulled into gangs and a subculture of exploitation.
We befriend and provide them a nutritious meal and a safe place during the day. At the Drop-in Centre they can relax, play indoor games, draw, take a shower or simply have a nap.
The Drop-in Centre acts as a doorway of hope and recovery. Through awareness on de-addiction, counselling the children are motivated to seek a better lifestyle and many are re-integrated into mainstream society.
