Child slavery is an evil of epic proportions and should not exist in the twenty first century. That it does, taints us all.
There are usually three sides to the triangle of suffering that is child slavery.
Side two is the child. Taken from their homes, very young children are forced to work long hours doing menial tasks, and are often forced to do work too heavy or strenuous for their little bodies. While they are working, they are unable to go to school and learn the skills they will need to build a life as adults. They become uneducated unskilled adults themselves and the cycle begins again.
World in Need works to ensure all children get the childhood they deserve, including access to education. Through child sponsorship, we enable them to be children, and we give them the grounding they need to become adults who can care for themselves and be of value to their entire communities.
