No child should risk their life for one meal.

Across India, children of construction workers wander dangerous building sites, picking scrap to sell for food. Some fall. Some bleed. Some never come home.

TurningLife gives them a safe day-care, education, and a chance at childhood.

What We Do

One afternoon, a little boy followed his mother to a high-rise construction site. While she carried bricks, he wandered to the edge of an unfinished floor looking for small pieces of metal to sell for food.

Instead of searching for scrap metal on half-built floors, children spend their day in safe rooms where they eat, learn and play — right next to their parents’ worksite.

We provide food, early education, basic healthcare and emotional care so that no child has to choose between hunger and danger.

The fall that changed everything

He slipped.

That single moment of terror is not a story you read in the news. For thousands of construction worker families, it is a daily fear.

TurningLife began with one simple promise:

“If parents must work at construction sites, their children will have a safe room, a hot meal and a teacher waiting for them.”

How We Do

Feed

Hot, fresh meals cooked in our day-care kitchens mean children no longer pick scrap to buy food.
A full stomach replaces desperation with energy, play and learning.

Teach

Our teachers run daily foundation classes: letters, numbers, stories, drawing.
Children who once roamed bare concrete now sit in circles, learning to write their names and dream beyond the site.

Protect

We protect children from open shafts, falling debris and unsafe heights by keeping them in supervised, child-friendly rooms.
Regular health camps, vaccinations and safety sessions keep children and mothers healthier and more aware.
