When
people talk about ‘street children’, the general things that come to the mind
is the child begging on the street with a group of women. People say that they
are employed in begging. Well, some are, but not all. Some children are
actually homeless and stay in utter misery and poverty. They don’t get a proper
meal in a day, forget any kind of luxury. A wholesome meal for them is God
sent. But who will give them a full meal per day? Here, comes in the role
of top NGO in Kolkata.
Let’s
find out how top NGOs help these ‘street children’ get a better life.
Education
An
empty stomach can lead the children astray and some might resort to unethical
practices to get a wholesome meal. By educating the children, the best NGO in Kolkata ensures that the child gets a job and the poverty
chain is broken for good. There are some NGOs who are connected with schools.
They ensure that the homeless child gets education free of cost. The NGO takes
the entire responsibility of the child’s tuition fees, school fees, books,
stationery and all items.
One meal per day
The
homeless children go hungry for days. With a hungry stomach the only thing that
comes to their mind is to beg for food and that too, gets them only a few
crumbs of bread. Poverty is like a curse and with begging this curse continues
from one generation to the other and one day these homeless children fall prey
to gangster groups and commit heinous crimes, just to support their homeless
families.
NGOs
come to their rescue and provide the children with one meal per day. This not
only quenches their hunger, but with regular lunches, counselling sessions are
also held, to guide the children towards a better life. They are provided free
education and also NGOs make sure that these children get proper job
assistance.
Medical treatment
Last,
but also the most important of all. The NGO in Kolkata looks
after medical treatment of the child. A homeless child feels, eats and plays in
the streets and that’s why people call them street children. With the rising
pollution levels, these children who doesn’t get proper care and medical
treatment. All this might be affecting the health of these children. But, with
no money to buy food, they can’t even think of getting proper medical
treatment. The NGOs are organizations who take care of such unprivileged children
during times of crisis.
Being a
citizen of India and being blessed with all the necessities and luxuries, many
gracious donors have come up to the NGO in Kolkata to offer their help. There
are a lot of things that are yet to be done. NGOs are waiting for people to
come forward and be a part of this noble cause.
