Child Welfare

Every child fed, schooled, vaccinated, loved — non-negotiable.

The Reality

What is the problem in West Bengal?

Issue 1

33% of children under-5 in West Bengal are stunted (NFHS-5) — far above the national target.

Issue 2

Child labour persists in beedi rolling (Murshidabad), brick kilns (Bardhaman) and zari work (Howrah).

Issue 3

Anganwadi centres in tribal blocks often run without eggs, milk or a trained worker.

The Plan

What can be done?

1

Sponsor one child's full nutrition (egg + milk + dal-bhat) at ₹1,500/month.

2

Run weekly 'Bal Sabha' learning circles teaching reading, hygiene and self-protection.

3

Rescue & rehabilitate child labourers through CWC and reintegrate into formal schooling.

Together

How can you & I solve this?

Sponsor a child on their birthday — gift learning, not just cake.

Donate clothes, toys and books in good condition; we deliver to 60+ Anganwadis.

Spend a Sunday at the SKNM children's centre — read, draw, play.

Our Stand

"A child's first 1,000 days decide their lifetime IQ and immunity. We have no right to fail them."
