Summer Camp for Migrant workers Children in Bangalore (Urban Slum)
Slum children are exposed to various hygiene and weather-related diseases and are forced to live in unhygienic conditions. Education is usually not a primary concern in these areas and parents often make their children work in their childhoods to make up for the financial gaps their families must be facing. The challenges faced by slum children in India include abuse, neglect, exploitation, poor socio-economic conditions, lack of protective environment, and health problems like malnutrition. INDIA GIVES FOUNDATION organized VASANTHAM SUMMER CAMP FOR BANGALORE URBAN SLUMS .The summer camp is for such children. Finding their aptitudes and guiding them to follow their dreams to recreate motivation is the aim of the camp.
