How You Can Help Stop Child Labor In India

Stone breaking, that is exactly what the kids of Siliguri, near Darjeeling, are doing on a daily basis under the beating hot sun simply to attempt to make a living, never mind the ability to actually make a living. Kids and some of their families, if they have family, are breaking rocks everyday for a nominal amount of money which is not even enough to maintain a normal life. These kids fight for food and for their lives. Many diseases and health related problems have been noticed in these areas. It is very problematic, especially when the numbers consist of over 500 children in these conditions. This project/center will be similar to others in place in this area, but will focus specifically on the welfare of these stone breaking kids. Social work and health related work camps already exist in this area; it is our wish to build up these programs as well as a medical vocational training center for these youth. There already exists an abundance of community support for this project.
We welcome students, volunteers, and retiree groups all to participate in this project.

By reducing poverty and generating employment in rural village as nearly 90% of child labor are from poor families of rual villages. And about 40-50% of them migrate to urban cities to conduct dirty jobs.

The question is not "How to stop child labor?", it is "How to help children without making them work?". Today, many Indian families have only their children as the money source. Without these children working, many families will not get food, and maybe die out. So, our job is to start organizations to give them money. We cannot take away their money without giving them something else.
