Story
Street Children
There are 500,000 street children in Dhaka alone. Often abandoned or left to fend for themselves as they face the daily challenges of hunger, abuse and the risk of trafficking.
Your donations will help sustain an informal school which provides elementary education, health checkups and a safe haven for children to come and talk. Your donations will also help sustain our outreach team and our emergency/transitional shelter where children are given food, clothing and protection while we try and find their parents. If we cant find their parents, we refer them to a permanent shelter.
Brothel Children
There are an estimated 20,000 children who live in brothels in Bangladesh and countless thousands around the world. We will visit some of these places to further understand the issues as well as support a local initiative that is supporting children who have either been born into a brothel or have a mother who is a sex worker.
Disadvantaged Children
We will be working to support refurbish a rural school in Greater Sylhet to provide more space and address the dilapidated classrooms and structure of the building. The children that access these schools are from deprived communities and having this school refurbished to a modern standard will reinvigorate the young minds and give them an opportunity to rise to their full potential.
