Project Needs and Beneficiaries
This school will be for the poorest children living in small villages where the only opportunities that come their way is work for the boys from age 5 and prostitution for girls from age 10. Their parents are so poor and so ignorant that they fall prey to exploiters, besides they need money for survival. The school will attempt to create an economic program to benefit the parents as well as give them rudimentary education.
