Help & Support Underprivileged Children in Creches

Dear Friends and Supporters,

First of All thank you for your support to serve the needy Children in India. SERUDS creches providing a safe, healthy and educational environment for underprivileged children of market yard labours, construction site workers, petty traders, slum dwellers and domestic servant maids. Before intervention, most of the below poverty line families, live hand to mouth. Due to this, the women, having very young children are forced to go to work, leaving their little ones unattended. Children are often left unattended in unsafe, basic labor camps / open defecation areas, while parents struggle to earn for their daily bread. The children usually have little or no access to education in their working locations.

Our services reaching out to the poorest of Andhra Pradesh children in the age group of 1-6 years. Some of the Children sleeps half of the day, who are below 2yrs age group. After they wake up they play with the toys. The 3 creches at Malageri, Madigageri, Budhavarapeta urban slums running properly and providing nutritious food in the lunch. The Care takers are teaching alphabets, rhymes through play items. When parents go to the vocation, children are coming to the Day care centers regularly. In each day care center 2 care takers are looking after the children. Totally 6 care takers are working to give pre-primary education, hygiene conditions, cleanliness, proper brushing, bathing etc. From 3 day care centers 90 children are getting pre-primary education through play items, cooked food in the afternoon and snacks during the center opens. Centers are running from 9.30am to 4.00pm every day. It enables poor women to go to work and augment the meager family income. Apart from being looked after well, the children receive a sound base for learning and are encouraged to do formal schooling.

The emphasis is to ready children for school and encourage parents to send them regularly despite a migratory, unstable lifestyle. Above 6years children are enrolled in the regular Govt. Schools by SERUDS.
