Rural Organisation for Poverty Eradication Services, Chittoor

Protection backed by Education

The Rural Organisation for Poverty Eradication Services (ROPES), an NGO based in Chittoor, focuses on the socio-economic empowerment of marginalized children, women, and rural families.

VFIT appreciates the thinking of team ROPES that a child who is not in school is working as labour. Their core mandate of child rescue and protection supplemented with accessible education has brought several children out of shackles of poverty and trafficking.

Key areas of their impactful work include:

Child Protection

They rescue children from bonded labour and trafficking, prevent child marriages, and form community-based Child Protection Committees (CPCs).

Education & Livelihood

ROPES supports first-generation learners with access to schools, life-skills, and basic amenities.

Women's Empowerment

VFIT has supported four non-formal education centres by providing educational aid and connectivity.
