Child Domestic Labor

“On a freezing winter morning, Kisan wakes up at 4 AM to fetch water. The day of this 13 years timid boy fully occupies with cleaning floors, escorting employer’s children to the bus stand for school, scrubbing mountains of utensils, washing piles of clothes and massaging the boss. His hand wears full of cracks and roughness as a result of excessive work. After a full day work without a single break, Kisan goes for sleep at 10 PM at a room built under the staircase…”

Concerned about the future of child domestic workers like Kisan and other neglected child laborers, Access is launching “RESTORING CHILDHOOD” program since 2010.
