This project identifies and rescues orphaned children below the ages of 18 years from child labour and provides for their longer term needs. When children are rescued they lack adequate and regular food, walk long distances to school on bare feet, have no sports facilities, and with no parental care or love. We provide for their holistic needs providing shoes, uniforms, sanitary towels, reading text books, writing material and school fees to enable them attend school and get a good education.
