The service seeks to aid any child below the age of 18 who is injured, sick, exploited, abused, in danger, or lonely. They may be street children living on the pavement or railway station, or normal children with normal families. Parents often call in search of a missing child.
Many of the boys have run away from home because of violence or abuse, others have lost their parents or are exploited in child labour. They typically come to DMVS through Child Line, or through our outreach staff at the railway station. When possible, and in the best interests of the child, he will be repatriated to his family, otherwise he will be allowed to make Child Inn his home for as long as he chooses.
The School on Wheels brings education to children who do not go to regular school. These children may be forced to work because of poverty, or there may be no nearby government school, or they and their parents may not understand the value of education. The School on Wheels reaches out to them by bringing a school to where they live. It provides informal schooling on sidewalks and in spare corners of slums.
