Providing Support to the Rural Children of Kosesari:

In Kosesari Village (Palghar District), many small children endangered their lives on a daily basis to go to school by crossing a 40 ft deep river by a small wooden raft without any safety measures and constant fear of drowning. KMCT timely intervened and supported the children and villagers with Life Jackets, upgraded Wooden rafts, financial support for the old Lady operating the raft and Infrastructure development on river-bank for easy access. These interventions helped save the lives of approx. 500 school children in that area and has helped them to reach school safely on a daily basis for the past 2 years.
