JJ has established outstanding models of 5 Children Manimandrams (CM) with 12 members in each. The members meeting regularly on 2nd Saturdays of the month and discuss about children issues. Around 125 children have so far been trained on their role and responsibilities as members, child rights, savings, importance of education, protecting environment etc.
Jeeva Jyothi runs two Day Care Centres to support the children between the age group one to five. Children are provided basic education, nutritious food and health care. After they complete five years, they are enrolled in the schools. The centres are helpful to the parents of these children who mostly work in rice mills and are unable to take care of their children during their work hours. The DCCs have so far reached out to 3500 children over the years. The DCC in Kattunayakan Nagar at present supports 22 children of tribal community who are involved in rag picking, false hair collection, bucket mending and pig rearing. The DCC in Periyar Nagar at present supports 17 children belonging to migrant families who work in rice mills.
