In India`s slum areas many kids face adversities such as abuse, abandonment, begging for food money, and homeless causing them not to attend regular schooling. Without proper education, they are destined to a life of poverty and are susceptible to trafficking and drugs.
"Good News Centre" helps break the cycle of poverty and gives these kids a second chance to succeed in life! It provides free meals, backpacks, uniforms, and school supplies, as well as free education. The teachers work with the kids to improve their knowledge and skills level for them to be eligible to join a regular school. At this point, they also assist the child in transitioning to a regular school. These kids then have the opportunity to pursue higher education and good-paying jobs, thus escaping the slums, improving their lives, their families, and ultimately their communities.
