Mobile Crèches was founded in 1969 in Delhi on the belief that every child has the fundamental right to security, education, health care and protection. Running day care centers on construction sites for the past 37 years, Mobile Crèches has run over 500 centers in Mumbai, Delhi and Pune and reached out to over 650,000 children.
Today in Mumbai, Mobile Crèches runs 23 centers – 18 on construction sites, 2 in slums and 3 special projects. Centers are open six days a week from 8:45am – 4:30pm every day. It is the only NGO in the city that specifically targets children on construction sites. Every year Mumbai Mobile Crèches reaches over 4000 children – but is still only a small fraction of those in need, because there are hundreds of construction sites in Mumbai .
