EXPLOITED CHILDREN REHABILITATION

“If we hope to change the world, we have to begin with the children.”

Child exploitation is predominantly presented in Chittoor. There are a vast number of children working in workshops, incense stick making industries, match work industries, cigar making industries, several hotels, restaurants, and automobile shops.  In this town, there are rag pickers looking for waste paper, broken plastics, or anything that has got a re-sale value.  These children belong to the category of low socio-economic status and the age group of 6 to 14 years.  They have either not gone to school or dropped out just to earn and help the family.  These child laborers are from scheduled caste, scheduled tribe, other minorities, and urban poor.
