Mission Heal: Securing the future of the Indian children

Poverty coupled with illiteracy in India counts as one of the main reasons why the country continues to deal with rampant cases of child labor on a nationwide scale. While in other states across the globe where children are facilitated with the necessary support to enjoy their childhood, the same cannot be said for India, especially in the rural remote regions as well as in the slum regions. Child labor is proving to be a hard nut to crack for the government. Besides terming it illegal, the practice seems to deep root for the weakly implemented legislation to work. However, this should not be taken to mean that the government is not taking the fight seriously. In fact, the government is so dedicated to curbing the malice that it is partnering with NGOs such as Mission Heal to help transform the lives of these children and better their living conditions.


A chance to education 
It is a known fact that the ultimate way to fight the child labor problem is to educate the children. in families which they cannot afford enough to support the entire family, children are put to labor to help supplement on the income of the family. While this may not seem to be of any harm in communities that practice it, the truth is to the contrary. To begin with, these children are denied the chance to enjoy their childhood like millions of other kids in the country. Secondly, harsh working conditions which these kids are subjected to can result in grave health and mental problems.

Mission heal has taken it upon themselves to offer these children a second chance to get an education and secure a brighter future for themselves. Besides, it is common knowledge that the ultimate way to fight the poverty problem is by educating the children. Mission heal has successfully put hundreds of children through education in slum and remote regions of the country. A chance to education means that, instead of spending their time working in farms, these children enjoy their childhood playing with other children and at the same time boost their literacy level.

Mission Heal has been dedicated in ensuring that no child is out through child labor. Through numerous sensitization campaigns across regions that have high reported cases of child labor, the organizations is able to change the mindset of the community,making them be in a better position to give their children a chance to be educated for a secure future. To realize its goal, mission heal, which is not profit oriented, works in partnership with the government and other like minded well wishers to transform the lives of these children by putting them through school where they can nurture their careers and earn a respectable spot in the community.

Mission heal has been on the ground long enough to be adequately versed in the statistic and thus in a better position to come up with effective initiatives that can help transform the lives to the millions of children who cannot afford an education.
