Learning Center for Unschooled Migrant Workers' Children

 

Children of migrant workers are often left with no shot at a reular childhood. They easily end up in child labour and child marriage. Our learning center is an intervention to help them get education and a safe space to learn, play and rest. We began our center in March 2025 with 8 children and soon grew to now have 20 students
