Rapidfire Kidz Foundation President Kevin Ratiram is calling for urgent national support to help migrant children access education, transportation, and emotional care—warning that without early intervention, the country could face deeper social challenges in the future.
Speaking during the Foundation’s Christmas treat at Rochard Douglas Presbyterian Primary School in Barrackpore on Wednesday, Ratiram said many migrant children still struggle to attend classes at learning centres because their families cannot afford transportation.
“Earlier this year, we assisted with renovating a building for a migrant learning centre in San Fernando,” he said. “But one of the biggest challenges is simply getting these children to school. Some families just cannot afford daily transport, and that means many of these kids stay home.”
