Every child is special and plays an important role in the society. Unfortunately, not all children experience the same privileges of family bonding, love, and education.

Many children in Goa lack the privilege of attending school, receiving adequate nutrition, or enjoying a carefree childhood. Some struggle to find their place in a family, identify their parents, and envision a stable future. Orphanages in Goa aim to improve the lives of these innocent souls, ensuring a better and more secure future.

The Crucial Role of Orphanages:

How do orphanages contribute to providing a stable and happier life for these children? What role do NGOs play in reshaping society for the better, and how do children pave their way towards a successful future?

What Are The Key Approaches That Every Orphanage Should Have?

Almost all the orphanages in Goa are working for the well-being of the street and slum children using the four-tier approach for change, and over the years, the functionalities have expanded in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The mission of these organisations is to create homes, shelters, community centres, and schools to transform the lives of children.

At-Risk Child Care

The first tier addresses the most basic and urgent needs of children at risk, including those living on the streets or orphaned. Orphanages run homes that provide shelter and care to children exposed to hunger, poverty, and parental neglect, often resulting in alcohol and drug addiction.

Outreach

Some orphanages extend outreach programs, providing street children access to daycare shelters and community centres. These facilities offer mid-day meals, hygiene services, and remedial classes after school. Additionally, staff members conduct educational sessions in slum communities, offering primary education, health guidance, and vocational training for young people and women, contributing to transformative changes in family situations.

Education

Education is the most obvious way to get out of poverty. It is why the experts give proper education after the children get their basics like protection, food and clothing. The children sometimes get education in engineering, catering, management and hotel management.

Advocacy

Orphanages collaborate with local governments to raise awareness of child rights, working with professionals to support child abuse victims and seek justice.
