For children who rather than going home, need to be in a safe environment after school hours and engage in creative, recreational activities.
Need
Many children come from unsafe homes and localities. There is little space to play other than the streets and the graveyards. Children have often had accidents playing on the roofs of their houses. Homes are small with as many as 6 members sharing one small room. Parents and neighbors may indulge in substance abuse. Under these circumstances, going home can become a hazard.
Services delivered
Children who do not want to go home after school, are encouraged to stay back and engage in a variety of creative activities, such as painting, playing board games, doing craft work or just reading in the library. The librarian keeps a watchful eye over them until they are ready to go home in the evening.
