More than 100 million children live on the streets, vulnerable to exploitation, drugs and crime. Nearly 12 million children under the age of five die every year from preventable diseases and malnutrition. Some 130 million children of primary age, mostly girls, don't attend school, contributing to shorter life spans and greater susceptibility to poverty and illness. |

Here in Egypt, we have our share of children and young adults at risk who are desperately in need of help and support. Hardship 2 Hope has been set up with the aim of helping to relieve this endangered segment of society from a life of suffering and misery. Our vision is to motivate a compassionate response to, and equip people to support young people at risk in Egypt. This will provide for the children's moral, physical, educational and financial needs, so that they grow up healthy, with a bright future, and in good stature and character. Our Aim is to get underprivileged young people off the streets and into programmes which will build them up positively, with the aim of developing them holistically to become productive members of society. This will give them an alternative to such things as a life of drugs, criminal activity and hopelessness. |
