Re-integration Into Home and School

Reintegration of child workers into their homes and schools has proven crucial to breaking the cycle of child labor. Education is one of the key tools for reintegrating child workers into their communities. Strategies AIR has implemented in order to facilitate re-integration of child workers into their schools and homes include psychosocial support for child workers, family reunification and sensitization, community development and training, teacher sensitization, conducive school-fee and school-readmission policies, vocational training for older children, and training modules to prepare child workers for reintegration into mainstream schools.
