RAJSHAHI, Oct 17 (BSS): Speakers at a discussion here Tuesday said the street children must get requisite facilities along with other fundamental rights for their proper physical and mental growth.
"Effective community participation is essential for their proper rehabilitation side by side with the government efforts," they said.
Assistance for Slum Dwellers (ASD) in collaboration with the Appropriate Resource for Improving Street Children’s Environment (ARISE), a project under the Ministry of Social Welfare, arranged the discussion on the occasion of distributing Eid dresses among street children at the Rajshahi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) conference hall.
On the occasion, Eid dresses were distributed among 60 street children enrolled with the ASD drop-in-centre being operated by the ARISE project. Some affluent people of the society donated the dresses.
Speakers termed the street children as an important resource for the nation and said the vulnerable group can be transformed into workforce by providing them with necessary scopes.
