Informal Education for Marginalized Children (IEMC) a non formal learning centre is a project implemented by CECS and supported by WIPRO Cares, the project is dedicated to prevent vulnerable and marginalized children from exploitation and guiding them toward formal education. Since its inception in 2015 until the 2023 phase, the project has successfully enrolled 5967 children across various centers, with 1762 children mainstreamed into both government and private schools. IEMC centers have been instrumental in transforming the lives of children under the age of 14 who are at risk—whether they are child laborers, dropouts or have never been enrolled in school.
The IEMC project is focused on creating a nurturing and interactive learning environment that fosters the development of essential life skills and positive attitudes. It empowers children to adopt healthy behaviors, ensuring that they are not only integrated into the formal education system but are also able to enjoy their childhood, just like other children.
