Hidden Domestic Child Labour (HDCL)

KMWSC started replicating the Multipurpose Activity Centres (MAC) from previous project’s learning into new slum areas of Kolkata. A need based survey was conducted in Muraripukur (ward – 32), Cossipore (ward – 1), Talah (Ward -5) under Kolkata Municipal Corporation and Rajabagan (ward – 3), Chinikuthi (ward-5), Dunlop (ward- 1) of Baranagar Municipality; the outcome has consolidated the fact that working with street children is not enough. There are thousands of children, deprived of education, basic rights, needs and opportunities for a dignified life

The project was started in March 2017 with six MAC facilitators. The project aim is to comprehensively protect children against child labour across the city in Kolkata through an integrated approach of prevention, response, system strengthening, awareness raising and evidence sharing.

After working in several locations throughout Kolkata, at present 1 MAC Center is running at Dhapa, in East Kolkata. The centre is being run by 2 MAC teachers, duly supported by the Project Supervisor. Home Visits are conducted by the teachers everyday after class. New activities such as Stakeholder Meeting, Life Skill Training, Capacity Building, Monthly Meeting are added. There are 50 enrolled at the MAC in Dhapa.
