Millions of children in the developing world live in desperate, life-threatening situations. Orphaned, abused and neglected, they often end up on the streets begging just to survive. Many are victimized by predators and have nowhere to turn and no one to help care for them.
The facts are heartbreaking:
- Over 25,000 children die each day – most from preventable causes.
- One fourth of all children live in poverty
- About 150 million children are homeless, vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
- Nearly one third of all children are malnourished.
- Nearly one in five children does not have access to clean drinking water.
- More than 130 million children – mostly girls – do not attend school; millions more receive very little education.
Kids Alive provides children with the love and care every child deserves, and raises them to be contributing members of their society and witnesses to their family and community.
