For children and families connected with sugarcane labour, daily life is often shaped by hard work, movement and limited access to basic comfort. When a family is struggling to manage food, hygiene, clothing and simple care, a child’s education and wellbeing are affected first. ShreeNiketan Child Care Foundation works with the understanding that learning becomes stronger when a child’s basic needs are also cared for. A hungry child finds it difficult to focus, an unclean environment affects health and a lack of essentials can slowly take away confidence.
