Jeeva Jyothi was founded in 1994 primarily with the objective
of protecting and promoting the rights of street and working children in north
Chennai. The initial focus was on elimination of child labour and child beggary
North Chennai is the most backward in terms of development
and infrastructure. Street and working children were found to be plenty in north
Chennai. Their existence manifest the naked reality of Poverty sickness and
exploitation. Life on the street is miserable beyond comprehension. Jeeva Jyothi
wanted to respond to the cry of despair of these children to live with human
dignity.
