NGO´s

Over the decades, we have been part of many city and state wide networks and campaigns, including the Coordination Committee for Vulnerable Children. We are also involved in city-wide campaigns and coalitions with NGO partners on issues of child labour, education and health. Moreover, we are regularly invited to train city organisations in early child development or the use of low-cost puppets in education. Significant engagements in last couple of years include:

: The only other NGO in the city that works on the construction site. Their focus is on health issues as well as running workshops on skill upgrading. This relationship has become increasingly significant in the recent years as the Construction Workers Act is expected to be implemented by the Maharashtra Government very soon.

: A People´s Movement for Health is a national level movement aimed at achieving health rights for people.

: Set up to combat child malnourishment in the state, it is a key partner in our work with the of the government of Maharashtra.

: A partner in promoting preschool learning, it has developed attractive and relevant teaching-and-learning material on personal hygiene, basic literacy and numeracy for most of our centres.

: As part of a larger network of international agencies working on environmental issues, CAT works with children in various centers. In 2007, CAT selected two of our centres to participate in an Asia-level school competition on Mangroves organized by Wetlands Link Asia based in Hong Kong. And these children won! (See of our newsletter on this very special trip)

: Since 2007, this international agency based in the UK that brings business and civil society leaders together has organised a number of exposure visits to our work. They have also recently begun to fund our programme to build grassroots leadership among women on construction sites.

: Robin Age is a children´s newspaper with a difference. Started in 2008, it works with MMC to bring children from various backgrounds together to learn and share from each other. It has developed a ‘Child to Child’; programme with MMC centres and two schools in the city - Fazlani School and Ecole Mondiale - and students visit each other on a fortnightly basis.

MMC also works with the following schools both locally and internationally to promote friendships and caring across various backgrounds and age groups - American School, Mumbai, Bombay Scottish School, Powai, and United World Colleges Elementary School, Singapore.
