PROJECTS

This project provides preschool education for children aged 1 to 6, the sons and daughters of women who are survivors of trafficking or at high risk of being trafficked.

In each preschool, students acquire basic knowledge for the subsequent cycle of compulsory education. At the same time, the children have access to vaccination campaigns and receive a daily lunch, which helps reduce their malnutrition levels.

We hold informational meetings with parents to ensure that families are involved in their children’s education. We also emphasize keeping the preschool teachers and assistants well-trained and motivated.

Health and Nutrition

All students receive medical checkups and monitoring in various health-related aspects. In addition to nutritional support, monthly height and weight measurements are taken to detect possible cases of malnutrition and intervene by involving and informing families or referring the most severe cases to hospitals.

The success of the preschool education program led us in 2018 to launch the Sustainable Preschools project, through which 19 of the preschools that we had been managing from Mumbai Smiles, will be managed by their respective teaching teams, without any intervention on our part.
