Why We Decided to Act
1.Orphans and Vulnerable Children
Our country faces a major orphan crisis, with approximately 4.2 million orphans struggling without proper care. Many are at risk of exploitation and neglect, highlighting the critical need for support.
2.Child Abuse, Sexual Violence, and Homelessness
Child sexual abuse is alarmingly prevalent, with a child abused every two hours. In 2023 alone, over 4,200 cases were reported, with most incidents involving acquaintances as perpetrators. Additionally, 82% of child workers in waste-picking report physical violence, and nearly half face abuse from adults, including family members. Homeless children live in constant danger without basic protection, further emphasizing the need for immediate action.
3.Refugees and Displaced Children
Our country hosts millions of refugee children. Many face barriers to education due to lack of documentation, while sexual abuse cases in educational settings further exacerbate their vulnerability.
Our Commitment
These dire statistics demand action. At Danke Charity, we are determined to address these challenges by supporting vulnerable populations and promoting sustainable practices. Together, we can create a safer, healthier, and brighter future for all.
