Education for Children Living on the Streets in India

Sadly, India has an estimated 100 million or more children without homes and access to basic education. They spend most of their time searching the streets for food or anything valuable to sell.

Sadly, India has an estimated 100 million or more children without homes and access to basic education. They spend most of their time searching the streets for food or anything valuable to sell. The sprawling and crowded capital alone, Delhi, has nearly 175,000 street children, with 7-10% having fled their poverty-stricken families who couldn't afford to feed them. Forced to fend for themselves, these vulnerable kids are the worst affected by the cycle of poverty gripping this great nation.

Unforgettable Experience
by: Loren Sandoval - MonterreyProgram: Education for Children Living on the Streets in IndiaI spent ten weeks working with street and slum children in Delhi and at the end it felt like it had not been long enough. The kids are full of energy and are so eager to learn that putting in effort on my part came naturally. They are all so full of love and every day I was treated with hugs and kisses from the little ones. I would recommend this experience to anyone. If you like interacting with children, you'll love it and if you are not used to interact with them, you'll learn to love it!
Dear Loren,<br/><br/>Thanks so much for your commitment and dedication to our Street Children program in Delhi! What a difference you have made to the lives of the children and your impact will be long lasting even though the time spent seems short....
