Working children
13 year old Nandini, seen in the picture above, never went to school. She works as a weaver to supplement her family's income. Thanks to local project partner Society for Human Education (SHE) Nandini attends non formal education classes for out-of-school children. Non formal education provides working children the opportunity to study at a convenient place, pace and time. Nandini is studying for her 10th standard diploma.
India
There are 450 million children in India, the largest number for any country in the world. Although their situation has improved over the last decade, still only half of the children between 6 and 14 go to school, 17 million children work as child labourers, over 3 million children live on the streets and nearly half of the children under five are underweight.
