Uday (project for mobile shoe-shine boys)

Uday, a project for mobile shoe-shine boys, was initiated in 1993 with the goal of giving children an opportunity to seek alternative employment through a process of education, skill training, & awareness. Around 20 VOICE students currently participate in this project.

As many as 40-45 shoe-shine boys have given up this business, some to participate in Swadhar. 25-30 of them are also attending school.

Objectives

To provide subsidies on the materials that the children use for shining shoes.
To inculcate the habit of saving.
To enhance their communication skills, & provide value education, as well as a respect for law & order.
