The objective of the program is to show how effect it would be to have a workplace based child program that targeted the whole child so the children would have a place to go to unsafe places and to help them become competent adults.
The construction industry is the second largest employer in India with about 30 million workers with two-thirds of them not having skills which make over half of them live below the poverty line. The children of these workers were overlooked by businesses and not seen by the governments. Women that work for the construction barely or do not have maternity support or daycare for their children at the construction site where they work although the need is ideal for one. Because of the lack of daycare, 3 million children of migrant workers at the construction site did not care for and had their rights violated. The people are so poor they do not have access to proper medical services, good nutrition, safe environments, basic simulation, nurturing or breastfeeding that is needed for holistic care.If they can implement saving the brains changing minds, children will be safe and will not have to play at construction sites which are dangerous for all involved.
