As a part of our work, former working children receive professional training (100 each year) which, in addition to a vocation, provides rights related inputs as well as access to formal education to them. Our Regional Resource center (see website www.workingchild.org) has been working since 1993 in this manner. Our graduates have been successfully working in vocations such as appropriate construction technology, leather work, weaving, computer applications, carpentry, garments, pottery, housekeeping and home nursing.
We assist young people to access loans from appropriate institutions if required to set up their own enterprises. For those who require it, we also organised specialised inputs related to management.
We have a programme for Micro Insurace for the very marginalised - in order to create safety nets for those who fall through at times of crises - and this insurance programme has very low premium rates and a wide range of products.

VERY NICE WORK.......congratulations.
Would like visit the Center if I have a chance one day.
I lived in India for 7 years from the mid 60's. Was also at Tiruchirapalli (Tamilnadu), St.Joseph's College. Planned a fund-raising event for a school for the blind (soap making etc) but cancelled because of student strike that closed all colleges for many days.
