THE GLOBAL ANGELS PROMISE: Global Angels promises that every pound that we receive directly from public donations will go directly to support projects working with children at a grass-roots level
Orphans, Child Slaves, Street Kids and Trafficked Children
If you saw Slumdog Millionaire, you know the story for many children on the streets of Mumbai and how many are trapped into the sex industry, slave labour, and gangs that maim children and force them into begging gangs.
If you watched Blood Diamond you will have seen children torn from their families and force recruited into becoming child soldiers, and little girls to being violated. Street children are even more vulnerable and unprotected.
Startling statistics estimate their to be 120 million street children around the world. 8.4 million children work as slave labourers, child sex slaves or soldiers worldwide. 1.2 million children are kidnapped, sold or smuggled each year.
We have partnered with some wonderful people and projects who rescue, care for and rehabilitate children from the red light district, of Mumbai, India, former child soldiers and victims of war in Uganda, Rwanda, vulnerable kids working on the streets of Cambodia, Nepal and Thailand and Costa Rica.
1.1 billion people on the planet don't have access to safe, clean drinking water. That's one in six of us.
400 million children have no access to safe drinking water.
Last year (2008) we built or refurbished water wells to provide safe drinking water to 15,000 children and their communities in Guludo, Mozambique. This year we would like to do the same again for another 15,000 people in the nearby villages.
This year, we have given grants to two new water projects in Kenya. The Ndalani project will provide safe drinking water for 1,000 children and 10,000 in the nearby community.
The new secondary school we built last year in the Masai Mara, will have a new water well and water points provided for 6,000 people in the surrounding area.
Safe drinking water dramatically changes the quality of life for these communities.
Just £15 can give a person in Africa clean, safe drinking water for 20 years. 100% of your donation will go directly to safe water projects on the ground in Africa.
Be an Angel.. and give children clean safe water to drink.
Global Angels are aiming to help alleviate the water crisis in the world by supporting projects that supply fresh water the to children and their communities.
