Street Children, Non-Governmental Organisations, Life Skills, RehabilitationAbstract
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play an important role in rehabilitating street children in the city of Bihar. NGOs use a variety of methods for locating and rescuing street children for rehabilitation. In order to get to know the kid, interviewing is conducted, children are taken to drop-in centers, and medical screenings are conducted to determine the children's health state. Finally, counseling is provided in order to help the children modify their streetwise behavior. Aside from this, the NGOs also use a variety of other methods to help rehabilitate the street children they rescue, including family tracing and reunion, outreach initiatives, welfare meetings, and day programs. Children who have been rehabilitated get both official and informal education, including vocational training and talent development programs, in addition to the usual social assistance. Donor organisations, commercial corporations, people, and the government all contribute generously to the NGOs that provide these services. The NGO's attempts to fulfil its objective are hampered by a variety of issues. Some of the difficulties include a shortage of cash.
