Background

Every year, an esti­mated 1.8 mil­lion chil­dren are traf­ficked into slave labour, armed con­flict, pros­ti­tu­tion and pornography.

In our view, vul­ner­a­bil­ity to such exploita­tion is directly linked to the liv­ing con­di­tions of the chil­dren.   Mal­nour­ish­ment, poor san­i­ta­tion, resul­tant ill-health, low edu­ca­tion lev­els, dis­crim­i­na­tion, low self esteem … these  are all crit­i­cal factors. 

At The Man­dalay Projects, we’re doing some­thing about this.

 

Please read on to find out how we are help­ing to reduce the vul­ner­a­bil­ity of chil­dren in Asia, and how you too could help us in this task.
