INDIA
ME IMPORTAS develops its projects in the city of Kolkata, in the Bengal region in India. We target children, teenagers and families in extreme poverty living in marginal contexts. Our goal is to provide these children and their families the opportunity to have a decent and self-sufficient future through education and development.

We want to direct teenagers away from child labour and begging, so our main line of intervention is EDUCATION.
In the vast city of Kolkata which holds a population of over 14 million inhabitants and it is one of the most populated cities in India and in the world, there are many slums both in the centre and in the outskirts of the city. Near the train tracks, the rubbish dumps or in any corner we find these micro-cities that shape the slums. In them we find poverty, lack of opportunities, marginalization, lack of hygiene, overcrowding and scarcity.
