Aftercare - Part 1

View descriptionShare

There are over 2.5 lakh children in India residing in child care institutions. When they turn 18, they have to leave the CCI that has cared for them, and the only place they call home. They are expected to live on their own and fend for themselves. Preparing to integrate into society without any safety net of family or a home or adequate education or money or a job would be a challenge for anyone even if they had all those things. So, when these care leavers exit the CCI, it’s important that they are able to cope and are not abandoned again. 

To help us understand what happens to careleavers when they turn 18, Satyajeet Mazumdar, Head of Advocacy at Catalysts for Social Action talks to Gita Gopal, Founder of A Future for Every Child, Dr. Kiran Modi, Founder of Udayan Care and Vipul Jain, Founder of CSA who shed light on the reality of aftercare and what needs to change in the system.
