21 youth work with 1000 children at the education centers supported by DKA, Austria. Here children centered activities are organized. Like meena bazaar, picnics and sports for children. The youth who accompanied these children act as facilitator and guide.

Badal says." Planting trees bring rain”

Badal and Sumit are both members of the Kasiadih Bal Sansad(Children’s’ Parliament) a local children’s organization consisting of 90 children. There is a growing awareness among children to keep their surrounding clean and to consume less packaged foods.

"I learnt from the children fair to cook snacks and keep account like our mothers do at home” Says Ramchand.

Children from Kasiadih area organized meena bazaar(children’s’ fair) every year. Here children organized games and different types of snacks. 150 children participated in the meena bazaar. They learnt simple and practical ways to become financially literate. The children learn to become self-confidence and parents contribute towards their growth.
