Children in Crisis

Children like Barnako work full-time at a metal market in Mali, pounding metal scraps into usable parts. The work environment is extremely harmful and involves dangerous equipment and hazardous materials.

For a miserable 50 cents a day, working up to 16 hours everyday… NO child wants to live like this…

Every child you read about here is forced to work… [More stories]

Millions of innocent children around the world suffer everyday from exploitation, abandonment, abuse, slavery, child labour and atrocities of all kinds.

These children are no different from ours in Singapore. They have hopes, and dreams just like any child. However, they are often powerless due to the impoverished and unjust conditions entrapping them.

Everyday, World Vision rescues children from the streets; children who are abandoned, disabled, abused and enslaved by forced labour.

By establishing Street Children Centres, World Vision helps these vulnerable children by providing shelter, protection, and ensures they receive the basic needs of life, healthcare, education and decent job opportunities.

More importantly, through the help given, we rebuild their confidence and self-worth so that the children can move forward with their lives with a renewed confidence to live a life free from the bondages of poverty.
