Help end the nightmare for Leila
and thousands of children like her.
Think about your average week day and some of the challenges that you might face: no hot water for your morning shower, delays on your journey to work, spilling coffee over your new shoes and a hectic schedule during your workday all pale against the life threatening dangers faced by runaway children like Leila.
Every hour of every day, thousands of runaway children fight for their own survival on the streets as they face the threat of rape, violence, abuse, sexual exploitation and potentially death. Your donation could ensure that they get the help they need – when they need it the most.
How you can help
By taking the next few minutes to make a small donation, you could help make a real difference to the lives of thousands of children and their families – starting today.
£10 provides a homeless young person with basic provisions including warm clothing, toiletries and a blanket.
£20 pays for a project worker to help find emergency accommodation for a young runaway.
£50 pays for two sessions with a professional counsellor for a young victim of sexual abuse.
