A Plan to Find out Actual Needy Poor Children By Prudhvi Moses | Smiley Children Society

Established in 2019 by Founder Mr. Prudhvi Moses, the Smiley Children Society, comprised of graduates from Andhra Pradesh, is dedicated to improving educational access for underprivileged children in the region. The Society conducts village-level surveys to identify needy children, a commendable effort appreciated by the District Project Director, Group 1 IAS Officer of East Godavari District.

Identifying the Needy:
Founder Mr. Prudhvi Moses, with five years of experience in the NGO education field, leads the Society in selecting a village and conducting area-wise surveys. The team visits every home, inquiring about school-aged children and their attendance. If a child is not attending school, the reasons often include the absence of parents, single parenthood, or economic hardship requiring the child to work. Additionally, the lack of legal documentation can hinder school admissions.

Comprehensive Support:
Legal Documentation Assistance: The Society assists in obtaining essential documents such as birth certificates, Aadhar cards, and adding children to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) ration card.
School Enrollment and Supplies: The Society enrolls children in local government schools, providing uniforms, bags, and shoes annually, and distributing stationery every three months. Free lunch is provided at school, and free evening tuition classes are held, sometimes including dinner if sponsors are available.
Support for Vulnerable Families: The Society supports children cared for by elderly guardians, providing medical assistance and transportation to government hospitals. Volunteers deliver monthly medicines on behalf of these guardians.
Empowering Women: The Society plans to empower women by training them in skills such as pickle-making and stitching to generate income and improve family livelihoods.
Recognized Efforts:
The Smiley Children Society's initiatives have been recognized by the District Project Director, who has pledged to support their surveys with manpower and recommend the enrollment of identified children in government schools. The Director has also committed to taking action against businesses employing child labor, including canceling their licenses if necessary.

Conclusion:
The Smiley Children Society exemplifies the impact of community-based efforts in addressing the educational challenges faced by underprivileged children. Through comprehensive surveys, targeted interventions, and collaborative partnerships, the Society is making significant strides in improving educational access and opportunities for children in rural Andhra Pradesh.
