Life on the streets is certainly not easy, with mere survival becoming an ordeal. But for many children in India, the streets are the only home they’ll know. With very little protection, these children are vulnerable to all forms of abuse, be it physical, sexual or psychological.
But the good news is that you can make a difference to some vulnerable children.
KIDZ CARE FOUNDATION is intervening in the lives of “street children” by gathering them together in formal and non-formal education centers where they are provided with nutritious food and basic education, and equipped with life skills that will help them earn money. Many of these children eventually join regular schools.
KIDZ CARE FOUNDATION’s mission is to empower the world’s poorest people to lift themselves out of poverty with dignity through access to financial services and to information. With tiny loans, financial services and technology, we help the poor, mostly child, start self-sustaining businesses to escape poverty.
More than 1 billion people on our planet live in crushing poverty. That’s more than three times the population of the United States. The world’s poorest billion drink dirty water that makes them sick. They don’t have enough food to eat. They die from diseases that are easily prevented in wealthier nations. These mothers, fathers and children are not the survivors of natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes or hurricanes. These people face life-threatening conditions every day of their lives simply because they are poor.
