EDUCATION
National Child Labour Project This project has seen over 175 children from the Devarajeevanhalli area being rescued from the clutches of child labour and provided education and vocational skills. This is run in partnership with the Government of Karnataka since 2000.
Vidyadan This is a school which started out as a Day Care Centre 10 years ago. It has evolved into a school starting from nursery to class 8. It is equipped to cater to the educational and health needs of many children from the slums of Bagalur and Jeevan Halli. It has been rewarding to see these otherwise deprived and neglected children being transformed over the years.
National Open School (NOS) Those who did not have an opportunity to receive schooling in their early years have the opportunity to enroll under the NOS Scheme. It will enable them to complete their 10th standard selecting the subjects of their choice and working at their pace completing the course in a maximum time of 3years.

Mid-day meal Children who attend school are given nutritious porridge in the morning and a sumptuous lunch in the afternoon, approved by a dietician.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTRE
The future of every child is of utmost importance to YuvaLok. This is achieved through a self contained training unit offering professional and relevant training courses in Tailoring, Screen Printing, Paper Works and Bamboo Crafts, run by encouraging staff.
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT
The project helps in providing medical attention and care to the community. We aim at improving their socio-economic status through education in health and training. “AIDS Awareness and Counselling” is a program we undertake right from the campus level.
RESIDENTIAL CARE
The Boys’ Home is a haven for boys living in dangerous or precarious situations either on the streets or in abusive homes. At present there are 25 boys aged 5 to 14 basking in the love and care of responsible YuvaLok staff.
YOUTH WORK
YoungLife is a project that works among youth both in mainstream schools, colleges and in slums. Much importance is given to ensure that the young people entrusted to its care learn to face up to the social and economic realities of their world and develop their own perspective of their lives. The overall goal is to accompany young people on their road to becoming self-reliant adults and help them to develop a positive approach to life, integrate into society and be able to provide for themselves.
YuvaLok Foundation will continually look for new and innovative ways to empower street and marginalised women and children. In the coming years we will identify and develop its strengths and expertise, which can be magnified to provide greater impact in pursuing its vision, mission and goals.
