Do you care?

Welcome to the Web site. If you care about the life of a child whose childhood is spent working 12-hour days dealing with dangerous substances for a pay next to nothing, please read on. Children as young as 5 all around us are exploited as prostitutes, harsh manual workers and 'negligble' labourers. Are we doing anything about it?

A Pressing Problem Around Us

	Lives begin and end in dustbins. An estimated 250 million children today are being exploited to work for long hours in hazardous working conditions today. Many contract diseases and die as a result while the 'lucky' rest are robbed of the rights of a human being and the privileges of childhood that many of us have taken for granted.

We Can't Just Sit By

"That's just the way the world is… it's probably their best chance of survival anyway," claims many. While poverty has forced a large fraction of child labourers to exploitation - helpless against prostitution, sexual and physical abuse, overworked in dangerous conditions for literally next to nothing, deprived of a choice at such a tender age - something is really wrong.

While we may not be able to change the world, let us at least try to help change the world for one. Please take a moment to find out more about child labour and how you can now make a difference in these children's lives.
