Outreach Projects

Ashalayam’s outreach programmes are dedicated to supporting vulnerable and marginalized children living on the streets and in slums. Through regular field visits, mobile units, and community engagement initiatives, Ashalayam reaches out to at-risk youth to provide immediate assistance, build trust, and offer long-term support. These programmes aim to create a bridge between street-connected children and a safer, more stable future by offering access to education, healthcare, counselling, and shelter. Ashalayam's outreach efforts are a crucial first step in empowering children to reclaim their rights and rebuild their lives with dignity.

Education for All

Howrah, established in 1787, is one of West Bengal's oldest cities and a major industrial hub. It attracts migrants from rural Bengal and neighbouring states seeking work in informal sectors. However, rapid, unplanned growth has led to overcrowded slums, poor infrastructure, and unsafe living conditions. Marginalized communities struggle with inadequate sanitation, healthcare, and clean water, while children often face crime, violence, and economic distress. Many are forced into child labour, depriving them of education and opportunities for a better future.
