THE BACKDROP:
In Bengaluru city migrant labor settlements, 4 lakh migrant children lack essential care and education. Most are children of Bengali-speaking migrants, living in tin-and-tarpaulin sheds. Their parents, working as ragpickers and housekeepers, often have no choice but to bring them to work or leave them unattended.
This leaves70% of children aged 1.5 to 6 without proper supervision, exposing them to various risks.
Join us in supporting this campaign to provide these vulnerable children with the care and education they need for a brighter future.
In response to this urgent need, the establishment of Diya Ghar has provided a crucial solution, offering a safe, nurturing, and supportive learning environment, thereby addressing the vulnerability and neglect previously experienced by the community's children.
Migrant laborers build our CITIES. Join us in constructing their children’s futures.

ABOUT THE NGO:
Diya Ghar provides Early Childhood Care and Education for children of migrant laborers. Diya Ghar started in 2016 with five children. We currently serve 1,000+ children every day in 20 Centres. We provide a safe space for 2-6-year-old children where they are given nutritious food, taught English, Math, and Kannada, and have their child care and medical care needs taken care of.
ABOUT ME:
My name is KRITI PRASHANTH GOWDA. and I am a 14-year-old Grade 9 student at the DPS, Bangalore North. I am doing this campaign to provide education and care to the children of migrant workers in Bengaluru.
It pains me to see so many preschoolers in Thubarahalli settlement lacking the essential support they need to thrive. These children of migrants, live in precarious conditions, often left unattended while their parents work as ragpickers or housekeepers or at construction sites. This reality leaves a staggering 70% of them without proper supervision, exposing them to various risks.
That's why I've taken it upon myself to support the Diya Ghar initiative. They are a sanctuary /home/care giving centre where these vulnerable children can receive the care and education they deserve. The cost to impact a child for a month is ONLY INR 4250 and this includes their education, nutritious food (they get two meals everyday), transportation, etc. (Imagine they are picked up and dropped back to their homes).
With your support, we can ensure that every child in our community has a chance at a brighter future. Join me in this mission to uplift and empower Bengaluru's migrant children.
