The objective of the project is to save the flood affected children from the trauma and hardships caused due to displacements during floods and protect them from abuse, child labor, ignorance and exploitation.
The philosophy of the project is to make intervention of entertainment, education and provision of basic needs and focus on the safety and security and keep them engaged in recreational and constructive activities.
The four major areas of

measures;
- and providing safe, free and confidential psychosocial support.
