• Extending
the work of Ashalayam to various towns and cities of
West Bengal
• Initiating the process of final settlement of some of
our children.
• Individual or group Counselling and Special
Therapeutic Program for the children on street and
in all our homes.
• Centre for child alcoholics and addicts
: the number of children affected by drugs or alcohol is increasing
and Ashalayam will create a centre to
offer them professional help.
• Centre for HIV / AIDS : we plan to
set a team to organize awareness programs and educate people
on HIV / AIDS. This will be done in
collaboration with other NGO's already involved in this field.
• For handicapped children : we often
meet handicapped children on the streets and their situation
is worst than the others are. It is difficult to
find places for them in other organizations. A centre for those
children could make our work more effective.
• For girls who require long term support
: girls who are not able to stand on their own (semi-handicapped,
etc.) need a place to spend their life usefully.
There is a proposal to set up a training cum-production centre
for them.
• Centre / booth preferably at the station or
bus stands : many children are coming to the streets
every day. As soon as they arrive, there
are anti-socials waiting for them and no one knows what exactly
my happen. Therefore, more booths in certain key
areas could help these children to get back to their parents
or to one of the existing homes before they remain into
the streets.
• Street Club : organize a group of boys
and staff to work on the street on a regular basis. The modality
could be to arrange for a vehicle and go around
to different street corners to meet the children and spread
the message of Ashalayam.
• Awareness programs in the rural areas
: there are many cases of children running away from the rural
areas. It would be good to set up a
team, which can create awareness regarding the dangers of the
street life.
• Better linkage between other NGO's
and Government Officials, which shall help in the final settlement
of our children.
• Planned strategies and policy level intervention culminating
in a complete rehabilitation package for the street children
who come to us.
• Prisoner's children program : we project to
develop an education and training program for children of
prisoners who
are in jail.
• Documentary film for awareness : we
propose to make a documentary film on the various Curative and
Preventive activities being conducted by Ashalayam.
