In 1996 RDP started its work with a group of rag picker children who were victims of poverty, social exploitation and parental neglect and abuse. Through our efforts and various activities, we have been able to put 107 children into the main stream of education and another 200 children were given non- formal education.

The various activities of the project include:

• Education
• Recreation
• supplementary nutrition
• Health care
• Skill development
• personality development
• Family life education

Through these children we have been able to reach out to over 100 of these rag-picker families and make timely intervention for wholistic development .

It is the backbone of RDP activities. The basic strategy of the department is to understand the community and to tap the resources within the community to mobilize and move forward to a better and brighter future.
