Oscar-winner for Best Film in 2008, Slumdog Millionaire, highlights both the plight and the very real existence for millions of orphans and vulnerable children living in the slums and on the streets of India and in many countries around the world. Many of these children are runaways from abusive homes or orphans forced to beg at train stations or pick through trash to make a living. As chronicled in the film, they are in peril every moment, facing constants threats of physical harm, as well as the temptation to use drugs and alcohol.
Although the movie focuses on those who exploit children in need, little is said of organizations, such as Project Concern International, that are truly doing exceptional work with these forgotten children. We help to take thousands of children, as young as five, off the streets of cities around the world, providing them with food, shelter, education, and vocational opportunities.
You can help us with this lifesaving work, not just in India, but also in impoverished communities of Zambia and Nicaragua, Indonesia and Ethiopia, and in other countries where PCI serves the poorest of the poor.
The hardships and dangers vulnerable children and orphans confront are an abomination to our society. We have the power – all of us – to change their lives, one child at a time. Make a personal decision to join us in our commitment to make their world better from this day forward.
Hope is on the horizon if we choose to change a life.
Donate today and help Project Concern International provide the resources and assistance these children need to live healthy, successful lives.
Yours in global concern,
Thomas L. Stephenson
Chief Advancement Officer, Project Concern International
