Sahibabad is home to over 270 children who are begging, peddling, sniffing, and loitering on the streets, and the number is growing. They’re forced under the pressure of surviving the harsh reality of our Urban India. When children of their age should be having an adequate amount of food for their growth, poverty leaves no option for them to sniff fluids to kill hunger, which ultimately leads them into malnourishment.
Where food is a challenge for every day, education becomes questionable for one to seek when most of the family income is exhausted in the basic survival needs. Born into poor circumstances these children are on the streets not by choice, but due to either extreme poverty or abandoning their families. Every child out there has the potential to bloom and have a better future. We believe if given right opportunity they can turn into responsible citizens of their community.
