Community Library
It’s a promotion of informal education to support children from socially, economically, and culturally marginalized waste-picking communities through a library program.
• Establish a secure and supportive setting for the children of rag-pickers
• Foster opportunities for creative expression among the children
• Broaden the library’s community reach by implementing a mobile library program.
