| why identity foundation ? |
Public places in Pune city and cities across India share a common tragedy. A tragedy called 'lost childhood'. On any public transport hub (railway station, bus station etc.), children begging, doing odd jobs etc., is a common sight. The purpose of our exercise is to stop feeling sorry for the children and take relevant steps to address their problems.
These children are on the street when they should be going to school. They should be eating healthy food in place of the scraps they are able to put together. They should be cared for instead of the abuse they are subjected too. Platforms, benches etc. are not a substitute for a bed.
First and foremost is to ensure that, the children who are 'trapped' on the streets have an access to their rights and possibility of availing basic amenities like food, clothing, shelter, education and viable and sustainable career option on the long run.
Secondly, we need to address the basic issues that force these children to come on the street and break away from their homes.
identity foundation was conceived in the early part of the year 2003. We focus on the street children or the platform children on Pune railway station.
