Child Labour is the practice of having children engage in economic activity, on a part- or full-time basis. The practice deprives children of their childhood, and is harmful to their physical and mental development . Poverty , lack of good schools and the growth of the informal economy are considered to be the key causes of child labour in India.
Child labour is a persisting social evil . A well nourished child is priceless asset of a nation . A child should be facilitated to grow in multiple dimensions to attain the physical and mental fitness . The society and the government have responsibility to create conducive environment for the healthy growth of a child.
The complex issue of child labour is a developmental issue worth investigating.
The notion that children are being exploited and forced into labour while not receiving education crucial to development , concerns many people . India is the largest example of a nation plagued by the problem of child labour.
Child labour is a source of income for poor families.

1. HOPELAND FOUNDATION
Introduction
Hopeland foundation is a non-profit organization with interest in orphans and disadvantaged children,
education, environment youth and women empowerment. It was started in 2011. It is located in Homa-
bay county, Suba sub-county along Lake Victoria.
Objectives
1. To promote education of orphans and vulnerable children in the region
2. To check on the welfare of disabled children through education and tertiary trainings
3. To promote healthy lifestyle morally and nutritionally
4. To create and identify sources of self-employment
5. To campaign against spread and impact of HIV & AIDS
6. To be environmental custodians
Projects
Education
Hopeland is an Orphans and Vulnerable Children Education Center (O.V.C.E.C). Currently it has a
population of over 50 pupils, 17 girls and 36 boys. As indicated by the trend, there are more boys than
girls accessing education. The foundation therefore advocates for girl-child education. However, this
has been with challenges cited below:
i. Early Girl-child pregnancy
ii. Child labor in the fishing industry
iii. With increased number of deaths resulting from HIV/AIDS and other related diseases, more
children become orphans
iv. Inefficient infrastructure to meet the population needs
In trying to overcome these challenges, the foundation has held six workshops over the past three years
campaigning against early pregnancy and marriages. The foundation has also opened a desk where
child abuse cases are reported and relayed to the security departments. This has reduced such cases
significantly over the last three years.
Hopeland together with partners and well-wishers are working hand with other stakeholders in the
community to improve infrastructure, avail proper teaching aid materials and school expansion to meet
the growing need.
Support of Children with Disability
The Foundation has special interest in disabled children. These are due to parental and community
neglect as the disabled children do not attain the formal education and in most cases kept at home. The
foundation has therefore taken an initiative to look into such cases of neglect and ensure they get
proper and formal education like other children in the society. Over the last two years, the foundation
together with friends funded an expensive treatment procedure for one child (Noligan Akinyi), with
visual impairment. Unfortunately, the treatment never fully materialized and Hopeland foundation had
to refer her to Kibos Special school for the visually impaired. She is now able to undertake her studies
on braille as the foundation source funds to keep her in school.
Environment Conservation & Management
climate change is real, and at Hopeland we understand its devastating effect on the planet, that’s why
we have decided to do something about it;
2. Hopeland practices environmental conservation measure aimed at improving the human living
environment. At Hopeland arrangements are made with the ministry of forestry, Suba Environmental
Education of Kenya (SEEK- a non-governmental organization), National Environmental Management
Authority (NEMA), Local primary & secondary schools, Beach Management units, women and youth
groups on tree planting activities and schedules. This has increased forest cover significantly over the
last 4 years while reducing uncontrolled cutting of trees. In addition, Hopeland and its Collaborators on
environmental matters, facilitates trainings pertaining to environmental conservation and management.
This has led to achievement of the following:
i. Increased awareness among the community on the importance of conserving environment
ii. Controlling sand harvesting along Lake Victoria Beaches
iii. Reduction of Beach erosion
iv. Conservation of fish breeding sites
The foundation Donates seedlings to schools and beach management units. Some are sold to generate
income aimed at funding the school feeding program. This was an initiative to ensure high child
retention rate in school.
Youth Empowerment.
The foundation conducts computer training for youths especially from households where the
foundation has sponsored children. The foundation then engages them in Agribusiness so that they are
able to attain funds for their family’s upkeep. Most of these households are Child-headed households.
Employment opportunities at Hopeland are given with preference to youths and women. This was
designed to check on unemployment while offering opportunity to campaign against HIV/AIDs
prevalence and drug and substance abuse. This has promoted good morals among the youths in the
program and has led to reduced cases of child abuse. Computer literacy has helped in accessing market
for their farm products at good prices in good time.
Despite the achievements through this program, the foundation faces some challenges. There are only
three computers compared to the high number of youth listed and interested in the program. This has
made the training pace very low. In addition, the solar panels the foundation have do not power the
computers efficiently for the average daily power requirement. Hopeland is in the process of engaging
stakeholders and well-wishers to assist in procuring more computers and solar panels.
Women empowerment and HIV / AIDs Awareness campaign
Hopeland foundation conducts counseling for HIV/AIDs victims to live positively, this is done through
faith-based gospel outreaches, youth and women groups. The participants are engaged in agribusiness.
The foundation also conducts capacity trainings especially in agribusiness skills and financial
management trainings. This discourages over-dependency on fishing and its negative side practices like
fish-for- sex acts which promote spread of HIV/AIDs, hence reducing number of orphans and
vulnerable children, improve nutrition, create employment, conserve environment and promote
education.
In future, Hopeland foundation intends to empower women through introduction of a revolving fund
scheme. Hopeland foundation intends to initiate women empowerment fund scheme, where women
shall be able to acquire loans and repay back at no interest in a revolving fund scheme, they will be
able to invest in income generating activities like trading in fish; only this time not practicing fish for
sex, but empowered to do business, generate income and support their families. The funds shall be
channeled through women groups. Individual application shall be allowed but must be registered
members of a registered group identified by Hopeland.
3. Future plans
Introducing of women empowerment scheme fund
Improving of infrastructure (cementing floors, proper roofing and acquisition of desks) to create
a better learning environment
Acquisition of teacher aid materials for the tender-aged children and books to aid teaching and
learning.
Acquisition of more laptops and solar panels in order to meet the rising demand from the large
number of youths yearning to join the program.
Expansion of the school to meet the rising population in need.
Inclusion of lunch in school feeding program.
Construction of a children’s home to ease learning, proper care and guidance of the orphans and
disabled children at Hopeland foundation.
Collaboration with other local NGOs and child support organizations to help with the support.
