Eleanor and Shearers Boarding Home
BIRDS is started working since 1991 in the field of rural development among the poor and poorest, among the Dalits, Women, Children and Small and marginal farmers in the rural areas. BIRDS was dedicated on community mobilization, empowerment process among the Dalits and women on several issues such as poverty, social discrimination and women rights and land issues. The focus was on the livelihood improvement among the poor families without lands as well as less lands and the main target was to improve the livelihood opportunities within the villages to minimize the migration.
In this progress, we have found huge number of children who are dropped school and working as child labor or bonded labor, some are destitute children left over by the family, due to sever migration and death of parents due to HIV, which are seen very much in the villages. Similarly the huge number of poor are effected with HIV and finally get the AIDS——the results of the migration, which is alarmingly increasing in these poor community people which have less lands and landless. People who are going out migration to earn money to improve their livelihood are returned back with diseases not with money.
These children who are out of school and working as child labor and destitute are given opportunity for education and to have childhood with proper care and protection under BIRDS. So BIRDS is dedicating to increase and improve facilitates of the present boarding home for many children to have good shelter and food with good facilities and environment for the children to have education are the main purpose of this proposal.
At present there are 172 students in the boarding home
