Open Shelter for Children is a child welfare and protection facility that provides temporary care, support, and rehabilitation services for vulnerable children, including street children, orphaned children, abandoned children, child laborers, runaways, and children in difficult circumstances. The shelter typically operates under child protection initiatives and works to ensure children's safety, education, healthcare, counseling, nutrition, and reintegration with families or appropriate institutions. Such shelters often function in coordination with the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU), Child Welfare Committee (CWC), and the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS).
