The Problem
Care FOR CHILDREN OF MIGRANT FAMILIES
There are more than 1.7 million migrant workers living on the streets of Delhi without access to shelter, healthcare, education or government assistance.
As India rapidly urbanizes, more and more parents are migrating from villages to live and work on construction sites in the country’s growing cities – and bringing their young children with them. They are known as Internal Migrant Workers.
One Life to Love works to identify children of migrant workers’ families in our community and enroll them in OLTL’s Education Center for Children of Migrant Families.
Our Response
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
One Life to Love operates 12 Community Schools across three states of India, bringing free education directly to children living in underserved slums, informal settlements, and roadside communities—wherever children need access to learning.
Our centers take a holistic approach to each child’s development, recognizing that education is about far more than academics. Alongside foundational learning, children have opportunities to explore music, art, yoga, dance, life skills, and creative expression, supporting their confidence, wellbeing, and overall development.
Our model is also community-led and designed to create lasting change from within. College students and young people participating in our education and career programs are trained to become teachers, mentors, and community leaders. They lead our Community School centers and work within their own communities to build awareness around the importance of education, encourage families to keep children in school, and promote the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and thrive.
By empowering young people to become educators and advocates in the communities where they live, the program creates a cycle of education, leadership, and community transformation.
