Child Development

Creating Safe Spaces for Children to Learn, Grow and Thrive

The challenge

  • Children from economically weaker and marginalised communities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana face severe barriers to education, health and nutrition.

  • Nearly 36% of children under five suffer from malnutrition and over 40% of school-going children lack access to quality early education.

  • Many, especially tribal, migrant and low-income children, grow up without proper learning opportunities, healthcare or family support, pushing them into child labour, domestic work or life on the streets.

Our approach

  • JPS works to ensure vulnerable children receive education, shelter, and care. Our Evening Study Centres help students in government schools strengthen their learning and reduce dropout rates.

  • Dedicated community workers in villages support children with education, health, and emotional well-being, ensuring continuity in their development.

  • We run hostels for street children, providing them with shelter, structured learning, and life skills to reintegrate them into society.

  • Additionally, our Bridge Schools give school dropouts and former child labourers a second chance for education, guiding them back into the formal schooling system.
