The path to adulthood for most  #CareLeavers in India can be tough. If unsupported, these invisible youth risk becoming the most excluded young people in society. With support from Micron Gives, we bring to “Turning 18 – The Invisible Youth".

क्या आप जानते हैं - 14 साल से कम उम्र के बच्चों को काम पर रखना गैरकानूनी है?

यदि 14-18 वर्ष की आयु के बच्चे काम करना चुनते हैं, तो लोगों को यह सुनिश्चित करना चाहिए कि वे सुरक्षित वातावरण में हों, उन्हें उचित भुगतान मिले और उनकी शिक्षा छूटे नहीं।
