Plan India Dreams on Streets

• There are an estimated 50,000 street children in
  Delhi and around 7,500 children involved in
  begging. Dreams on Streets aims to give freedom
  to children from begging at street lights.
• Plan India initiated the project for ending child
  begging at the traffic signals of New Delhi in
  November 2015. The overarching goal is to ensure
  freedom to children from begging and that they
  are gradually weaned away from traffic signals
  and mainstreamed in government schools where they
  can continue with their education. At another
  level, the project seeks to link the
  family/caregivers of these children with
  sustainable livelihoods so that household
  economic security is achieved.

• Children aged between 3-18 years are given
  non-formal education in English, Hindi and Math
  and are also provided with art therapy. Apart
  from this, the children are given nutritious
  meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), basic
  clothing facilities, psychological care and
  medical aid and life skill education. In some
  cases, children are helped in re-interaction and
  restoration with their families. Presently, the
  Dreams on Street project is designed as a pilot
  initiative and is supporting approx. 150 children
  who were forced into begging by their caregivers
  at two major locations Munirka and Nizamuddin.
