The Salem Don Bosco Anbu Illam Social Service Society (DBAI) implements a comprehensive approach to achieve its mission of empowering children, youth, and women, as well as fostering community development.
DBAI targets three major categories of children who are marginalized from their childhood. The first one consists of street children who are forced to leave their families due to poverty and become rag pickers, sweepers, hotel boys, pavement dwellers, orphan child labourers and the like. The second category comprises of children who live with their families and yet work as child labourers in industries such as weaving, textiles, power looms, handlooms, silver chain making, rope making, bore well units, two-wheeler, and auto mobile workshops. The third category of children is Missing and Trafficked children.
