An estimated 600,000 children are living and working on the streets of Dhaka.

Children on the streets face the dangers and offers from gangs who are ready to assimilate them into gangs and criminality and worse traffic them into sexually abusive and punishing work. Children who cannot find work are often left with only the option to beg leaving them prey for traffickers.

Our school under the sky, rescue a child outreach work and transitional shelter offer a lifeline to the street children. Our street children project is a complete solution to support street children in changing their outcomes in life.

Rescued children who we cannot reunite with family or it is unsafe, our childrens home in Ramu will provide a new opportunity that all children deserve.
