Mission & Objectives	The Mission of Don Bosco Navajeevan Bala Bhavan is to empower street children/ youth so that they may be able to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. Its fundamental mission is to give them the tools to carve out a dignified future for themselves. To equip the marginalized child and provide her/him with the necessary resources the mission statement of Don Bosco Navajeevan is stated as “TO BE A RESOURCE CENTER THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO THE MARGINALISED CHILD.
Child Protection	Don Bosco Navajeevan follows the present Young at Risk (YaR) Child Protection Policy is an important step forward in this process. It is in consonance with the International treaties, conventions on child rights, policies and laws of the Indian Government and the guidelines of the Church. Reiterating the stand on the rights of the children and committing Salesians to their care and protection, Don Bosco Child Policy India sets six key priority areas for children in their care: Survival, health and nutrition; Education and Development; Protection; Participation; An Educative Environment of Preventive System; and Advocacy and Networking.
Geographic focus	The project is located in South India, in the state of Telangana, Hyderabad as its capital city. We have three centres in Hyderabad (i.e., New Bhoiguda near to Secunderabad Railway Station, Nampally near to Hyderabad Railway Station and a Rehabilitation Centre at Ramanthapur). The present proposal is a new centre located at Vanasthalipuram east side of Hyderabad. Our field staff visits 18 contact points in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad to rescue children at Risk.
2. PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Project	The present proposal is setup a Girls Hostel for Underprivileged girl children, school dropouts, begging children, orphans, child labour etc. and other Girls at Risk. Don Bosco Navajeevan in Hyderabad has experience of 15 years in rescue and rehabilitation of children and youth at risk. Till now we have facilities for boy children only, whenever we rescue girl children, we refer to other girl homes. We are inspired to start a centre for girls as per the recommendations and results given by RAS (Rapid Assessment Survey) research team conducted in May, 2013. The situation of the girls is more vulnerable than boys in Hyderabad. As per survey, there were 1797 street involved children (based on head count) in Hyderabad city. Of this, there were 1427 boys and 370 girls, i.e. more than 20% are girls. Hence, we found the necessity to start a home for girls in the city of Hyderabad. Another Survey conducted in collaboration with 10 NGOs working for children under the banner Network for Protection of Child Rights (NPCR) in January 2014 for 3 days only at Secunderabad Railway Station. We rescued about 65 children among them there were about 15-17 girls. Such operations can be organized often if someone comes forward and could support to rescue and provide care and protection. To realize this project a lady by name Showrina in Hyderabad has donated a building to us to help girls who are need of care and protection.
Geographic focus	Hyderabad and Rangareddy Districts, Telangana State, INDIA
