The Manual Scavengers Rehabilitation Facilitation Project is dedicated to supporting the effective implementation of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013 (MS Act, 2013). This law strictly prohibits manual scavenging and mandates comprehensive rehabilitation for manual scavengers and their families.
In alignment with this law, 402 families have been identified and provided with rehabilitation support by the government across Davangere and other districts of Karnataka. This project aims to strengthen these efforts by providing holistic support for the socio-economic upliftment of these families.
Key Components of the Project:
1. Awareness and Advocacy: Raising awareness about the MS Act, 2013, and the rights and entitlements of manual scavengers and their families.
2. Livelihood Support: Facilitating vocational training and skill development programs to enable alternative, dignified livelihoods.
3. Educational Support: Providing educational assistance and scholarships to the children of affected families to ensure their integration into mainstream education.
4. Health and Well-being: Conducting health camps and ensuring access to healthcare services for manual scavengers and their families.
5. Legal and Financial Aid: Assisting families in accessing government schemes, financial aid, and legal support for complete rehabilitation.
This project seeks to empower manual scavenger families with sustainable livelihoods, dignity, and social inclusion. We are committed to expanding our reach and impact with the continued support of donors and stakeholders.
