22. Rationale in Selecting a Pre school Project
THE NEED
• As per the statistics approx 150 pre schools are totally
washed away. Another few hundreds are damaged.
• Most of these kids have lost their homes, parents,
relatives etc and live in camps that are alien to them.
There are approx 42,000 kids of pre school age (3 to 5)
who are affected. They suffer from many phobias and
are very confused. The time spent idling makes them
victims of many psychological disorders.
•These kids fall within the age category that are
vulnerable to heinous acts by certain segments of
society.
