Saranabalyam- Shelter Homes
Child labour, child begging and child trafficking for economic gain in part-time or full time basis is common news nowadays. Such children are also vulnerable to other forms of physical, sexual and emotional abuses. In order to redress this issue, the Women and Child Development Department has began a notable initiative called “Saranabalyam Project”, a project to ensure that the state is free from child labour, child begging trafficking and street children. In this project, KSCCW operates a twenty four hours emergency outreach service for children in crisis which link the same to emergency toll-free number 1517, and rehabilitation with provision for shelter homes throughout the state.
