Organizational ANNUAL REPORT April 2015 to Mar 2016 NAVAJEEVAN BALA BHAVAN SOCIETY #24-3-35, Ist Lane, Bavajipet, Andhra Ratna Road VIJAYAWADA – 520 003; Andhra Pradesh, India Phone: +91-866-2439913; Fax: +91-866-2431221 Email: [email protected]; Website: www.njbb.org I.STREET PRESENCE PROJECT Street Presence – Field work: The main source of field contact of children at VJA Railway Station: The experience is that when a child is rescued at the earliest, he or she will be less addicted to street life and can be integrated with family easily. The more a child stays on the street, the more he or she gets addicted to street life, making the home integration or any other rehabilitation measures more difficult. Hence, applying the principle ‘sooner the better’, utmost importance to be given for rescuing the child at the earliest, especially intensifying the coordinated rescue efforts at railway stations as more than 95% of the children travel by train after leaving home to reach different urban centers, hence, the need of intensifying the field presence in Vijayawada Railway Station is utmost important. About 218 children are rescued on an average per month by Navajeevan team that too, more than 95% from Vijayawada Railway Station.

The children rescued from street or weaned away from street life are brought immediately to round the clock Open Shelter and provided with basic needs. They undergo in-depth counselling sessions while attending Orientation Camps organized in the shelter premises, before they are home- integrated or joined for any of the rehabilitation processes under formal education or skills training streams. 4 The yearly data points to the growing number of children leaving home to street. They all lack mainly a ‘significant adult’ in their lives to understands them and facilitate them to cope up with risky, difficult situations, especially at home. The envisaged project measures are all the more important when one view from the perspective of the children of the socially-economically- politically excluded marginalized communities/families; also, the most vulnerable Children Affected By AIDS (CABA), children who are orphan and those from the broken families, etc. The experience tells us that these days more emphasis is given to usual education – be it formal or training in any skill. The child is to be equipped with information skills to cope up with risky and competitive situations and how to live in a community/work in a team – without which the normal education may not help the child, settle in life. Hence, the urgency and importance of Life Skill & Sexual health Education, which these days Navajeevan emphasizes. The children on street, children at work and children in institutional care reported the highest incidence of sexual assault. Around 60 per cent of the street children reported having undergone sexual abuse.
