CHALLENGES

  • The community is deeply rooted in promoting early marriages and child prostitution practices.
  • As much as we try to change the perceptions of the children, without talking to the communities our impact is restricted. When they go back to their communities,
  • they are continuously influenced by the early marriage and prostitution practices of their own relatives.
