Children are one of the vulnerable sessions in the community. Number of children in villages and slums are deprived from their fundamental rights. Child labour, child marriage, child begging, different kinds of exploitations, dropout children, children who needs care and protection are some of the issues related to the children. Majority of the community members in the villages and slums are not aware about the child rights.  Hence Kripa works in villages and slum areas to prepare the people to ensure the right of the children. Kripa provides its services to children in institutional set up and to in the community level to facilitate and assist the children and community to address and prevent the children from harmful situation like exploitation, violence, abuse and neglect. Kripa forms children’s parliaments in the villages and slums to organise and aware the children on different topics to reduce the children’s vulnerability in harmful situations and risks.
