This project is dedicated to helping those who need it most—children living on the streets & in the orphanages. Many of these children live in garbage dumps or open sewers, without running water or sanitation. On their own, they have no way to receive an education or provide for themselves as they mature. Our purpose is to be a positive influence in the lives of as many children as we can, by providing them with medical care, education, & leadership skills. With this help, they have the opportunity to live a productive life.
