aims to catalyse, build a self-sustaining project
and withdraw, and repeat the cycle with
other projects.
2 BUILD COLLECTIVE
STAKEHOLDING The Foundation
mobilises sustainable financial and nonfinancial
resources from among business,
urban administration and education
departments, media and citizen leaders.
Programs are created by contributors and all
stakeholders in the project, who have a direct
interest in the program’s success.
3 FACILITATE MENTORING by
identifying mentors to provide critical support
for change management initiatives. Idea
mentors contribute new ideas; program
mentors help implement and add substance
to the idea; network mentors such as UNICEF
speed the programmes progress by using their
network to identify partners and skill sets;
resource mentors contribute manpower,
money or material.
THE PROGRAMS
Three programs currently define the work
of the foundation.
THE CAP, OR CHILD AND POLICE PROJECT
CAP REACHES 4250 children; it aims to
rehabilitate child workers by turning them
into students. It brings together citizens, the
City Police, corporates and policy makers,
building consensus on the far-reaching
benefits of getting children away from
worksites and into school. The approach
aims to supplement rather than supplant
their families’ income. Children enter the
school system through five Bridge schools,
which also serve as community resource
centres. Parents, teachers, employers are all
involved as stakeholders, and the schools
have developed well beyond their original
conceptions. The forward vision: to sustain
the movement even after the schools are
weaned from DRF-CAP support; to partner
a process of up-scaling and replication; to
emerge as an example of best practices for
protecting child labour through schooling.
