Dear DGSEA Supporter,
‘What is DGSEA?’, we ask ourselves sometimes. We are varyingly referred to as an organisation, a movement, a group… While each of these definitions would fit DGSEA, it does not capture the essence ofwhat DGSEA is—A Very Powerful Thought. visit www.dgsea.org
30 years ago, the thought was powered by passion and little else. Since then, so many generous people have contributed to our fight to protect children from exploitation or other social ills; However, increasingly our work has moved from ‘providing relief’ to ‘ensuring the rights’ of children. While this may sound like a mere play of words, it has fundamentally changed what we do and how we see ourselves. To reflect this shift in our focus, we added home for children (some may call it as orphanage as it takes care of the children without support), primary school, High school. When we happened to see the elder children are forced to remain at home to take care of the young babies - to help their working mother - we started creche. The creche takes care of the tiny tots, the school-age children attend their classes.

We are happy to report that our efforts are applauded by our various stakeholders, it has actually reflected in everything we’ve done during the year. From project partners working on the ground to children, teachers, volunteers, media partners and corporate partners, we have seen the beginning of transformational change take shape. Most of all, we’ve seen our people walk with a new purpose, a spring in their step.
India have attained the basic rights of childhood (the right to survival, protection, development and participation.) Rights that are constitutionally guaranteed to them but are seldom available in fullmeasure without struggle. We work hard in bringing light in the life of children..
