"Children running away from abuse, violence and poverty use India's extensive railway network to get to the cities, where they hope to find a better life. Thousands of children arrive at India’s vast, chaotic railway stations and find themselves lost, alone and scared, with no idea where to go or what to do. Their dreams brutally shattered, they end up living on the platforms.

Over 11 million children live on the streets of India."

I work within the UK rail network. Railway Children was set up by a fellow rail worker who saw first hand the plight of so many children in India. I'm travelling there in February to understand how Railway Children help, and then cycling 500km across Rajasthan to show my own support. Please support me in helping to bring about change - every penny donated goes to support children who really need it.
