Prayas' Pledgey

Prayas' Pledge "We, at Prayas, visualize ourselves as partners in a national and global campaign to restore childhood to millions of children deprived of their basic needs. To give them back their childhood in terms of care, protection and opportunities for participation and development. We dream of an India where every child goes to school, or is provided with decent alternative education and is also provided with health care and shelter."
"We wish to share our dreams and join hands with the government, civil society and the corporate sector which Mahatma Gandhi preferred to call our corporate trustees. And to work with all those who wish to give back to society, to nurture all those children who have been neglected. "
"We see a world that protects children’s rights. A world that treats every child equally and lets boys and girls play and learn, and grow to adulthood in health, peace and dignity, A world that involves children and young people in making decisions about their lives and finding ways to make the world a better place for all."
The Basic needs and rights of child are synonymous.
These needs include:
* Food
* Clothes
* Recreation
* Guidance
* Shelter
* Health Care
* Protection
* Love and Care
Furthermore, a child needs to be viewed in the context of his/her family and the family needs to be viewed in the larger context of the community
