It is estimated that there are 250,000 street-connected children in Kolkata, India, who are from the most disadvantaged communities in India.
Many street-connected children come from families who struggle to access daily necessities such as food, clean water and somewhere safe to sleep. Other street-connected children are alone in the city and vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. They start work as young as age five in order to buy food.
In accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, HOPE believes that inclusive, quality education is a fundamental human right that should be enjoyed by all children, irrespective of their background.
By signing up you will help street-connected children – many of whom are first generation learners – to access education, and help to build their knowledge, skills and confidence, and enable them with a pathway out of poverty.
100% of funds raised will be for HOPE's educational programmes and resources to empower and enable street-connected children in Kolkata.
• £8.60 will purchase one pair of shoes and school uniform
• £30 will buy educational stationery and toys for a child
• £80 will provide a month’s salary for a teacher
