As part of the Active Citizen Program, I initiated a social action project to address the pressing issue of child labor and lack of education among underprivileged families. Through this project, I successfully enrolled 89 out-of-school children in government schools, ensuring they could access free education and a brighter future.
Many of these children came from families living in poverty, where parents were unaware that government schools offer free education. Instead, these children were being sent to work to contribute financially to their households. I worked closely with these families, raising awareness about the long-term benefits of education and addressing their concerns about losing a source of income.
By collaborating with schools, community leaders, and local organizations, I ensured a smooth enrollment process and motivated parents to see education as an investment in their children’s future. This initiative not only transformed the lives of these children but also highlighted the importance of breaking the cycle of poverty through education.
This project stands as a powerful reminder that with awareness, empathy, and action, significant change is possible, even in the most challenging circumstances.
