A child-friendly nation that guarantees the rights and protection of all children. CHILDLINE aims to reach out to every child in need and ensure their rights and protection. Our four Cs model – Connect, Catalyze, Collaborate and Communicate – is the system that enables us to reach out to more and more children, every year.
Connect : Use technology to reach out to children. Catalyze : Drive systems through active advocacy. Collaborate : Integrate efforts between children, the state, civil society, corporates and community to build a child-friendly society. Communicate : Make child protection everybody’s priority through effective communication.
At BANNU CHILDLINE 1098, for the district of Mulugu Telangana we follow an action process which starts at the first call and continues till the child in need of care and protection is safely rehabilitated. To put it simply, our work includes several stages which are:
Any child or a concerned adult can dial the BANNU CHILDLINE 1098 helpline, which operates night and day. Once the call is received by the centre details about the situation are taken from the caller and BANNU CHILDLINE 1098 units are mobilised if necessary. Once BANNU CHILDLINE 1098 has enough details about child or children in distress, the team rushes to help children within 60 minutes to bring children out of an emergency situation. Once BANNU CHILDLINE 1098 intervenes help the child, it works with multiple stakeholders such as police authorities, child protection boards, social workers and counsellors. Children’s consent and participation is an important component of this process from response to intervention. To ensure the child’s continued safety, BANNU CHILDLINE1098 proceeds to find long-term rehabilitation for the child. And does constant follow ups with the child – meeting the family or the visiting the shelter if a child has been assigned to stay in one.
I am proud to be a volunteer for a life-changing organisation like Bannu. Truly, charity changes not just the lives of the people on the receiving end, but also the lives of the people on the giving end.
It gives me such grief to watch children suffering from poverty. By helping in some way or another, I feel contented that there is something I can do about this. For me, giving is one of the few things that gives me the feeling of immense satisfaction.
Child labour is preventable, not inevitable. We believe that effective action against child labour requires children to be placed squarely at the centre of programmes designed to protect children’s rights. We support communities in changing their cultural acceptance of child labour, while supporting strategies and programming to provide alternative income to families, quality education, and protective services.
