1. Introduction
In our project area number of Orphan, Semi Orphan and Street Children are found. The problem
of orphan / street children is acute due to urbanization and industrialization. Due to the deaths of
HIV/AIDS affected persons, Re-marriage of deserted / widowed / divorce women, absence of
love and security in the families, Family disputes, Unwanted pregnancy of Trafficking / Sexually
exploited girls; these orphan and street children are left without care and support. These children
are involved in rag picking; pick pocketing and participating in anti social, criminal activities.
Therefore, we envisage mainstreaming these children in the national building by providing care,
support and protection in our cooperation.
