Rationale in Selecting a Pre school Project

• As per the statistics approx 150 pre schools are totally washed away. Another few hundreds are damaged.

THE NEED

• Most of these kids have lost their homes, parents, relatives etc and live in camps that are alien to them. There are approx 42,000 kids of pre school age (3 to 5) who are affected. They suffer from many phobias and are very confused. The time spent idling makes them victims of many psychological disorders.

•These kids fall within the age category that are vulnerable to heinous acts by certain segments of society.

What do they need?

• Sense of security (emotional/physical)•Comfort of a home•The extra care•Sense of belonging & attachment
