Meet Krishna - she is 15 years old. After being abused as a young woman, the Phulbri centre has given Krishna the opportunity to return to school and participate in our Street Business Toolkit. When she is asked about her goals, Krishna says she wants to learn how to ride a bicycle and start a small business selling vegetables. If she learns how to ride a bicycle, she will be able to buy her vegetables from India and bring them home at a cheaper price therefore making more profit. We have just begun working with Krishna but have already seen signs of her growing confidence.
buy a chance for a better future
In 2006, we launched the campaign “buy a chance for a better future”. Through this campaign we introduced those of you participate to our work in a new way. Buy a chance will focus on different regions over the course of the coming years, and will provide the donors who choose this option with an information package. This package will connect the donor with youth workers and street kids in that region and discuss our strategy for addressing the issue of poverty among kids through economic empowerment.
We are currently designing the materials for a new country. We will post this information when it is available. Thanks for your interest!
