Mission

NCE and its coalition partners have long drawn track-records of initiating people’s movement for ensuring the rights of children and disadvantaged communities. Many of its partners like BBA/SAACS have been struggling to eliminate child servitude of any kind for 25 years. This fight for a dignified and empowerment has resulted in the growing worldwide consensus. The intervention of NCE in the recent years have fueled newer dimension to the issue of child rights as a holistic approach to larger question of socio-economic and political issues have been incorporated.  This transformation is possible when the disadvantaged communities are empowered making sustainable through education and subsequently ensuring dignity.
