After ten projects successfully implemented in the field, we are currently working on fundraising for a Residential Special Training Centre for former child and bonded labourers in Madhya Pradesh.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal of this project is to end child labour through education, offer tailored educational, physical, mental and emotional support, and ultimately to reintegrate the children into public schools. The beneficiaries will be not only the 50 girls who will be welcomed into the centre, but also 7000 inhabitants of the region. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary objective of the Special Training Centre is to rebuild social bonds and reduce the children\u2019s intellectual and physiological developmental delays. To this end, special educational materials are used and which are designed specifically for these children, who have lost years of their education. The environment is safe, comfortable, healthy and enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">100% of the children integrated into a public school following their time at the centre<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up to 90% of the children finish their secondary education and can therefore continue their studies, attend a vocational training or seek formal employment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to the joint effort of Humanium and Hand in Hand India, children in Madhya Pradesh have the opportunity to start again and radically change their future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eKJ3NuGao3I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our local partner for over 10 years Hand in Hand India, has been awarded with the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Kalyan Puraskar from the Honorable President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind.
