World Vision started a football team (players wearing white jersey) many years back for children in slums. Many of the players have faced child labour in some form – from cleaning drainages to working in tea shops, hotels and mechanic shops.
Now that their life has changed tide with help from World Vision India, they came together to raise awareness for children who are bound by the chains of child labour in sports goods industry...especially stitching of footballs in places like Meerut and Jalandar.
They played a passionate game on the World Day Against Child Labour to send the message loud and clear – END CHILD LABOUR

Manorama Behera has been staying with her husband, a son and a daughter at shaktivihar slum for over 12 yearsShe is the mother of a sponsored child Rakesh Behera studying in class 2.Ssometimes they go to bed without food. Most of the time they borrow money from outsiders of their village with 5% interest p.m. They were bound to repay money on time even if we live without food.
Then she joined in Nabajyoti SHG and through SHG she requested World vision for some business assistance. In 2009 World Vision helped her with the EDA Assistance of Rs.5000/- for dry snacks business. She started getting Rs. 200/- to 250/- profit per day. After repaying her loan amount she changed her business and started a grocery shop in her house. She expanded her business by taking loan from the group. Now her business is successfully running and is able to meet all her family needs. Now she does not take loan from outsiders. She also constructed a house. She has enrolled her son in English medium school “World Vision has given my family food security and education to my children. Now I am self reliant and gained business skills. I do not depend on my husband to make my children’s future better. I extend my gratitude to World Vision” says Manorama.

Babita started going to school like any other girl from the slums in Dewas. And like most poor and vulnerable families, education was her family’s lowest priority. Yet Babita’s mother tried to change the fortune of the family when she sent her daughter to school. However, she failed in the 9th standard and like many others dropped out of school. It was also a time when her family was struggling to make ends meet. Her father was a drunkard and was against Babita going to school calling it ‘a waste of time’. Eventually Babita was forced to become a child laborer when she started accompanying her mother to be a domestic maid. This became her new way of life and she began to think that it was all over for her. She was soon to fall in the whirlwind of poverty like her mother.
World Vision’s Community Development Coordinator (CDC) saw Babita’s plight and her desire to study. He counseled and motivated her mother to start sending Babita to school again. Subsequently Babita was allowed to take her 9th standard exam as a private candidate which she successfully passed and was then enrolled as a regular student. However she failed in the 10th standard but thereafter there was no looking back. Her passion for studying developed and today she stands tall and confident as a final year student of B.Com. She also works in a BPO. She hopes to pursue Chartered Accountancy.
