is to provide a space where children involved in ragpicking can relax and sleep after their rounds. Most of the children who come are dropouts, runaways, or abandoned. Further, the children are counseled and motivated to return to formal schooling. Parents of these 6-18 year olds, when present, are also involved in the centers so that when the child does return to school, they are capable of providing the necessary support.
