Rescue and Restoration
DARE has a registered shelter home under the Juvenile Justice act. We respond to the call from the Varanasi railway stations at any time of any day. We are constantly looking out for children in need to respond to their needs. When a child requires help, we bring the child to the DARE home while informing the authorities. We also get calls from Railway Protection Force (RPF), Government Reserve Police (GRP) and general public whenever a new child is found and needs temporary shelter and support. Once rescued, the child is given a secure place and a good atmosphere to stay until the family is found. The information about the child is given to the Child Welfare Committee within 24 hours as per the rule and we try our best to trace the family or the guardian of the child. As per the order from the CWC, the child is given protection with all the facilities and once the family is found, after completing the legal formalities, we hand over the child to the family or place him/her in a shelter home. Some of the eligible children are also accepted by DARE shelter home for education or skill training.
