Challenge

There are many girls who have lost their parents at a very young age. Orphan girls are left with relatives and friends for who the extra children is often a burden which frequently results in abuse or orphan homes. Orphan girls are most of the time not being accepted by relatives, and often end up begging in the street in a vulnerable condition if they don't receive care in time.

Long-Term Impact

Good care and education gives the youngsters a chance to excel in life and give back to the community. The opportunities continue to grow as more children become young adults and start their own independent life, which is often a great example for the younger ones.
