There is a growing awareness about child labor in India. However, this awareness focuses only on certain sectors such as the firecracker, match, and beedi industries. One of the most neglected sectors is brick industries. More than 80,000 children are working in brick industries near Chennai city alone. These children face a more difficult situation than child laborers in other industries because they are the children of migrant workers.
The Pasumai Trust was involved educating the child labor in brick industries from 1997 onwards. Project Build was initiated in July 2002 to support the activities of the Pasumai Trust. The objective of these centers is to provide basic literacy and numeric skills and motivate the children to continue their formal education.

Around 300 children attend 6 education centers (named Sunflower, Lotus, Rose, Hibiscus, Mullai, Lily) that are functional in and around Thiruvallur. These centers serve children from 7 different brick kilns.
To create educational opportunities for the children working in brick industries.
To motivate children to enroll and continue their formal education.
To provide nutritious supplementary food for children.
To carry on advocacy and campaigning activities to change the education policies of the government to accommodate the needs of migrant labor children.
To organize the parents (Workers in brick industries) of the children working in brick kilns.
To create awareness about child labor in brick industries.
Pasumai Trust is an NGO working in Thiruvallur district for the rights of the brick kiln workers and their children. Asha-Honor team (chennai) in Partnership with Pasumai Trust is implementing Project Build towards the education of the Brick Kiln workers children.
