What we do and to whom ?

COROAT is functioning to address the social evils in the form of child labour, child marriage, child delinquency, sexual abuse of children, lack of protection to children, lack of employment for coolie labourers, domestic violence of women and so on. The social evils against children, especially from the marginalised community are getting worsened by several factors. The burning issues faced by children day by day is making COROAT to intervene more for the empowerment of children from marginalised communities. COROAT is also strengthening people’s organisation as a protection mechanism for children, skill training to women, alternative employment opportunities for coolie labourers towards access to sustainable livelihood resources. The pandemic situation from 2020 has expanded COROAT's activities towards COVID relief by doing 'Annadanam'-Food distribution to street side dwellers, distribution of sanitary materials and books to children.
