Aiming at overall development of 400 socially and economically disadvantaged child workers in Tangail town, the SSS Mobile School has been operating in eight centres.
The beneficiaries of this programme are the children engaged in hotels, garage, factory, scavenging, taxi-helper, vegetable sorter, sweeping, bidi-cigarette hawking and many other hazardous activities. Often they fall victim of different inhumane and discriminatory treatments by their employers. Exploitative and excessive physical labor and mental pressure is a known barrier to their normal growth and subject to frustration. Their door to criminality is widely open. Deprived of any education and counseling, these children are really helpless. SSS under this programme has been supporting them with education and health services free of costs. Informal education and awareness about health and social environment have gradually been resulting in their elevated self-confidence and aspirations. |
