Why Your Support Matters: The Gift of Multi Activity Centre to Children


When you support Sudarshan’s #RunForABetterTomorrow Campaign, it goes towards ushering in Holistic Care & Support for children

Across eight states of India, Bal Raksha Bharat operates 28 Multi Activity Centres (MAC) which serve as one-stop destinations for transforming the lives of children in need. A MAC caters to various age groups and segments of children: 3-6 years (Early Childhood), Out-of-school children, age group of 6-14 years, children who never enrolled in school or who dropped out. Children engaged in child labour and living in street situations are also benefitting through these centres. Following are the core services provided at a MAC Centre:

  • Quality Early Childhood Care & Education Services for 3-6 years age group
  • Bridge Courses for children in the age group of 6-14 years, to help them connect/re-connect with education
  • Skilling of Adolescents and Youth and Linking them to Dignified Employement Opportunities
