wHENEVER i walked on the streets i frequently see those kids begging for money instead of going to school and enjoying life as kids. They work in the early stage of their life though we know that some of them are members of the syndicate. There are institutions that may help them but they are trying to escape whenever they are admitted. WHat do you think is the other way to help these children?

We have lwas to protect them, but sometimes it doesnt work. I know about a private project, that is totaly supported by private investments, which is: to incentivate children to go to school, they pay a fee to those families with problems for each children they have a school, if they skip classes without justifying it they cut this fee. So, its a why to involve all the family and force kids to proceed school, instead of being in the street begging.
