Activities:

Out reach/Field work: We go to the spot where our clients are available to meet such as ghat, bazar, riverside, near at small factories, and near at garbage carriers and talk with the clients purposefully. When we did it with an individual is called “one to one session” and when we did it with a group is called “group education”.

Family meeting/Home visit: This is how we communicate with the client’s family members. Some clients live on the street along with their family and family members are engaged in the some profession(Tokai).When we meet the family members of such a client is called “family meeting”. Some clients work on the street but their family lives in slum or at home. When we go to a slum or a home to meet the family members of such a client is called “home visit”.

Day care: We encouraged the children come to the center to take rest and pass their time safely and comfortably.

Cleaning: We motivate to them about personal hygiene and provide cleaning materials to get clean.
