What is the reason I help a child who lives with his/her parents?

PRAYAS will take the responsibility and aims to promote lasting well-being of all children in the communities we serve. Our aim is to benefit and encourage every person in the child’s community to become a strong and productive member, thus moving the whole community towards self-reliance. Your support will provide a child with opportunities to access basic health care, quality education, good health, sanitation, access to clean drinking water, income generation programmes for their parents and much more. This gives an opportunity for children to experience a normal, healthy and happy childhood.

PRAYAS acknowledges that there are many ways to help children. While a significant number of children in need live in institutions, vast majority of children in poverty in India struggle along with their parents and communities. Our experience over the years  suggests that children in need, living with their families and communities, can experience well-being of life by carefully designed investment into their families and communities. Your sponsorship is the way to collaborate with the child’s family to give the child a new day and an opportunity to experience lasting change. PRAYAS assists children living with  parents because such assistance enables them to remain as a family unit. In many families, either the father or the mother is dead or has disabilities or one of the parents has abandoned the family. In other instances, the parents are very poor and the income is too little for survival. Therefore, PRAYAS helps keep the family together and the children have one or both parents with whom they can share their love.
