description:

Education or vocational training as an alternative to education: In addition to promoting an anti trafficking legislation, LUTRENA invested considerable effort in providing children with educational opportunities. Children were helped to get birth certificates, enrolled in school, given uniforms, schoolbags, footwear, learning materials and extra lessons. Withdrawn or prevented children were closely monitored by community groups that checked on their attendance and performance. Children who have passed the age for school enrolment were offered skills training or apprenticeship opportunities in their towns and villages. Thus, children were provided with viable alternatives that significantly reduced their exposure to trafficking.
