This, our third Day Care and Night Shelter is situated in Calangute in the north of Goa. Tourism is the main source of income in this area and during the tourist season many families from the neighbouring states migrate to Goa, their children, who accompany them, are often sent out to work in the market. Many beg, others pick rags or rummage through bins for items that can be recycled and others may work as hawkers.

 With a view of helping more children at risk, Stepping Stones our second Day Care and Night Shelter in Margao was opened in 2005. It has the same aims as Asha Deep: to provide a safe haven, medical attention, food, education, vocational training and the chance to change a child’s future.
