Volunteers work at one of our local partner organizations to help street children in India. These organizations serve as day care and drop-in centers for street children. Volunteers help the children by providing love, care, basic literacy, sports and recreation, and often just by spending time with them. Your help can make a world of difference to their lives.
Overall, estimates for the total number of street children in India range from 400,000-800,000. In Delhi alone there are an estimated 175,000 street children. They can be seen scavenging the rubbish heap for a meal , sleeping between the tracks, often beaten and sexually abused and falling prey to drug dealers, pimps and child traffickers.
