Urban Shelter for 50 Street Children, Warangal, Telangana
Don Bosco Navajeevan, Warangal was founded in 1992 to provide child services to abandoned children, poor youth, and young people in the city of Warangal. The mission of the center is to ensure that street children and children from slum communities have access to a center where they can be enrolled in government schools, receive academic support, meals, primary healthcare, and grow in a safe and dignified environment. Children from slum communities and poor households are severely neglected due to poverty, illiteracy, and lack of family support. Our organization fills this void by providing such services to ensure that we break this cycle of poverty.
This project involves providing a wide variety of child services to children who reside in slum communities near our center. In recent years, due to urbanization and migration, we have seen major growth in the number of families living in slum areas. This program helps families who are living in abject poverty to send their children to our center where they will be provided with academic support, clothes, one meal, counseling, and primary healthcare. The objective of this program is to ensure that these children are given an opportunity to grow as mature, well-formed, and dignified youth in the years to come.
