Drawing from its systemic understanding of poverty and child labour, MAYA has come to consolidate its interventions towards the eradication of child labour to two broad areas of focus:
- addressing the right of every child to quality education
- addressing issues of labour and livelihood.
The interventions in these areas derive from the organisation's perspective that interventions have to be at the level of policy, social and political structures, strongly rooted in personal and collective empowerment of the poor.
