LittleBigHelp works to create better opportunities for children and women in West Bengal

Projektbeschreibung

LittleBigHelp is the Ladies Circle's international service project 2015-2017.
It works to create better opportunities for children and women in West Bengal to secure their basic human rights - education, protection, basic health care, etc.

LittleBigHelp works to create better opportunities for vulnerable children and women in West Bengal, India. To secure their basic human rights such as education, protection, basic health care, and nutrition- each and every day.

LittleBigHelp runs a Pre and Primary School in Shalimar slum community where 135 children on a daily basis receive education, learn about their basic rights and enjoy a hot meal for lunch. They also work with the local community, mainly the parents of the children.

LittleBigHelp runs a 24/7 Open Shelter near Howrah train station for 25 boys who are living on the street and on the platforms of the station. The rough everyday lives of these young boys consist of collecting bottles and other goods left on the trains to sell and earn a few Rupees to survive.

They are offered a safe alternative to the perils of the street and the station with shelter, protection, education, food, medical care, and a place to simply just be a child. Many of the boys are addicted to sniffing glue and have suffered horrific experiences in their lives and we work to secure them a better and safer future off the street and to find them a better alternative.

To provide a long term Home for the youngest and most vulnerable boys at the Open Shelter, they are running a Boys' Home for 45 street connected boys. In our Home, the boys can start a new life away from the street with care, comfort, nutrition, education - and a place to call 'home' until they reach 18 years of age.

They are running a Girls’ Home for 25 street connected and other vulnerable girls. Here the girls have a chance to start a new life in a safe environment filled with care, comfort, nutrition and education – a place to call ‘home’ until they reach 18 years of age. It is especially important to offer help to girls in India, as they are extra vulnerable to child marriage, trafficking, rape and abuse.
