Did you know

...that a child dies from poverty every 3 seconds - that's 30,000 children each and every day?
...that India has a third of the world's poor - more than any other country? (source: World Bank, Aug 08)
...that in India, 456 million people, or 42% of the population, live below the international poverty line?
...that India has an estimated 18 million street children?
...that millions more are not in school and are involved in child labour, spending the day on the streets begging and the nights sleeping at the side of the road or on railway platforms?

About Frishta

Nigel and Rachel Studley have for many years wanted to take positive action and do something practical to help these desperately poor children to escape the grinding cycle of poverty that traps them and give them a home, an education, a hope and a future.

So with others they have formed Frishta*. So, if you are interested in helping or getting involved, please click on the links below:

Frishta are building a children's village for Indian street children who
have nothing and no-one...

Living in a Frishta family home will transform their lives!
The children can play and be themselves without the fear of being
beaten up
They can go to school - be able to read a book for the first time!
They will get a good education, then a job and a place of their own
to live
Frishta helps them escape the grip of poverty over their lives and to
become normal children again.
