Plan India Dreams on Streets
                     Plan India Dreams on Streets
• There are an estimated 50,000 street children in Delhi and 
around 7,500 children involved in begging. Dreams on Streets 
aims to give freedom to children from begging at street lights.
• Plan India initiated the project for ending child begging at the 
traffic signals of New Delhi in November 2015. The 
overarching goal is to ensure freedom to children from 
begging and that they are gradually weaned away from traffic 
signals and mainstreamed in government schools where they 
can continue with their education. At another level, the 
project seeks to link the family/caregivers of these children 
with sustainable livelihoods so that household economic 
security is achieved.

• Children aged between 3-18 years are given non-formal 
education in English, Hindi and Math and are also 
provided with art therapy. Apart from this, the children 
are given nutritious meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), 
basic clothing facilities, psychological care and medical 
aid and life skill education. In some cases, children are 
helped in re-interaction and restoration with their 
families. Presently, the Dreams on Street project is 
designed as a pilot initiative and is supporting approx. 
150 children who were forced into begging by their 
caregivers at two major locations – Munirka and 
Nizamuddin.
