We Need Your Help

   Volunteers  Helping The Children's  in Agra ,             

                              
 In India, the Slum dwellers are the most substantial but overlooked section of the society. At a sizable 26 percent of India's population; they represent the poorest of the urban poor. Different states have different meanings of the word slum. But a few characteristics are hard to escape. Minuscule living areas, a burgeoning population living below the poverty line, nil drinking water, and latrines shared among hundreds, a non-existent sewage system; the record is endless.

A film like Slumdog Millionaire brought to the world's notice the condition of slums in India. The rich and affluent were so worried that India is being shown in bad light because we don't treat our slum children like it was portrayed in the movie. But the truth is what Danny Boyle showed the world.   

Children that come from the slums many of them are orphaned and live with relatives or one of the parents might have died or the father deserted the family and the woman struggling to make ends meet with her children. Jobs for women are hard to find - and a woman from a slum may get a job as a maid. She herself will most likely have no education that she can pass on her to her children - there is a lack of everything in the house she might have - the house will be one room-in a crowded neighborhood where mosquitoes can carry malaria from one dwelling to another.
