Mobile Crèches are essential for children living at construction sites because they provide safety, care, and early education- things these children are often deprived of. Migrant labourers move from city to city in search of jobs or earning a livelihood and are forced to live in temporary accommodations where basic facilities like nutrition, childcare, and schooling are unavailable.
A Mobile Crèche is a facility that ensures children's safety and better upbringing while parents work long hours. At these creches offered and taken care of by NGOs, their children are protected in a clean, supervised environment. These centres offer nutritious meals, health check-ups, preschool education, and recreational activities that support emotional and cognitive development.
Without such support, many of these children face malnutrition, accidental injuries, or are forced to stay unattended at hazardous worksites. Older siblings often drop out of school to care for younger ones.
By operating directly at construction sites, NGOs running Mobile Crèches bridge this gap, giving children a safe childhood and giving mothers the confidence to work without fear. Mobile Crèches are not just childcare centres; they are life-changing spaces that provide dignity, learning, and equal opportunity for some of the most vulnerable children.
