VOCATIONAL TRAINING AND LIVELIHOOD PROGRAMS
Many of our children/young adults either due to age, disability or various other reasons are unable to
gain entrance into a mainstream school. For this group of children/young adults we provide:
Basic Education with the option of NIOS (we are provisionally certified as an education and exam center
They are simultaneously placed in our vocational training program that works hand in hand with our
sustainable livelihood opportunity program (for 16+ Years), both of which have a strong emphasis on
gender equality.
We have formed partnerships with locally based private sector companies such as JOYN India, Four
Points by Sheraton, Tamrapatra and Bio Tech. All of which provide employment after completion of
initial training.

10. ANNUAL REPORT MILESTONES
Six years ago, we started Aasraa with an outreach into the different streets and slums of
Dehradun to identify the street children and get to know their backgrounds, problems and
interests. Our team has played a significant role in communicating with these children and in
building their trust. These efforts lead to the inauguration of the Street Smart program with 20
children. Now Street Smart has gone beyond 300 children with its various activities.
We have mainstreamed 162 children among whom is Sunita, 14 years old, who had been
begging on the streets ever since the age of five. Chandini, 12 years old, a double amputee was
begging on the busiest inter section of Dehradun for the last 6 years. She was the chief earning
member of her family. After counselling the family and Chandini, we have now managed to
admit her to a residential school.

a school due to their advanced age as well as their lack of interest in formal education. Our
Street Smart program is giving these children an opportunity to learn and also earn through
vocational programs.

difference in their academic performance as well as behaviour, confidence and participation in
different activities.
Aasraa started 2 night shelters for some of its most vulnerable children in March 2013. We need
a land grant from the Government to build a shelter to accommodate more street children to
protect them from the negative influences of the street.
