Kalki Drop-in Centre for Street Children
In June 2008, ICT initiated a new partnership with Kalki Welfare Society, a local NGO that aims to empower the street children of Pondicherry, South India. Tourism and some of the most relaxed laws in the country attract thousands of children and adults to Pondicherry every year, many of whom end up living on the streets. Following a study carried out to identify the needs of street children in the area, Kalki established a drop-in centre and outreach programme. Approximately 300 children now use the drop-in centre every day.
