Ek Kadam project is a residential hostel for the all-around development of migrant’s children run by “ASHA” Kanpur. It was started in 2006 as a model project for those migrant children who had to break their education in mid due to their parent’s profession. Parents of these children are migrant laborers, who usually migrant from other state or district to Kanpur city in search of employment but in short of employment they are forced to work at brick-field site along with their children for 6-7 months and rest of months they have to live in their home. In such a situation, the children have to break their education in mid. So, for the solution of such a problem we started a residential hostel under Ek Kadam project, which we called Apna Ghar. It was started with only nine children but now there are 44 children with us, and we are trying to give a new shape to their life.
Our vision is to develop such an environment where more and more children (boys & girls) of migrant laborers to live their childhood with full of dignity, there is not any labor work and where they are free to read or play with full enjoyment. Our mission is to not only educate the children but also cultivate instill them with confidence and qualities that they could bring a change in the life of other unprivileged children.
We provide better atmosphere with caring guidance and have seen significant growth and success among all the residents. We plan to expand the intake of children provided quality of the facilities isn’t compromised.
