Challenges Faced By Slum Kids
1. Extreme Living Conditions: Many children often reside amidst garbage, facing unsanitary and hazardous environments for prolonged periods.
2. Malnutrition and Health Issues: Limited access to nutritious food results in malnutrition, and the absence of proper healthcare exacerbates health problems.
3. Social Stigma and Begging : Abandoned by families, children experience social isolation and have to resort to begging.
4. Survival Measures: Desperate for sustenance, some beggars resort to unimaginable measures, such as consuming drugs to feel sleepy and eating trash.
5. Lack of Shelter: Many children lack adequate shelter, exposing them to harsh weather conditions and compromising their overall well-being.
6. Subjected to crime: Children become a prey to crimes like rape, smuggling, forced begging and brutality.
Chandni, having promoted education for slum children and reported on slum issues, founded Voice of Slum (VoS) in Noida in 2015 with Dev Pratap Singh who had faced similar challenges in life like her. After running away from home at the age of 11 and staying at railway stations to working as a ragpicker, waiter and a territory sales manager at a reputed organization, Dev finally left it all to serve young slum kids.
