ABOUT INDIA STREET KIDS
In the face of the overwhelming number of children living on the streets in India, as of January 8, 2010, The Streisand Foundation, through its India Street Children Help Trust activities and numerous lessons learned in its years of activity, decided to support and partner with Unnati towards the “One Million Youth by 2020” Movement.
Following months of close follow-up studies of several Unnati vocational training areas of impact from the 899 families assisted to-date, The Streisand Foundation’s team members, consisting of highly qualified international professionals working on a voluntarily basis, have consistently found that Unnati’s training is directly stopping Indian children from coming onto the streets.
The Streisand Foundation’s ultimate goal is to stop that process at its root. It is thus directing all of its efforts, focus, intents, professional and business activities towards working together with Unnati to replicate and build additional, proven, winning model programs in more locations across the country. Together we want to reach the One Million Youth mark by 2020.
The Streisand Foundation and Unnati are confident that this will translate into double, if not triple, the number of children, and siblings of such youth, from ending up in the streets of India.
The morale and psychological boost gained by one single youth in just three extremely intensive and thorough months of training, has shown that its effect rapidly expands and spreads across family and community. This program builds role models and gives hope to all neighboring children.
We invite You to join The Streisand Foundation in supporting Unnati to Train and Transform 1 Million Youth by enabling the establishment of new centers to:
• Guarantee 40 youth employed in just 90 days.
• Transform them for life...
• Establish a sustainable growth model for society and the economy.
Please contact us today if you would like to assist either financially or personally.
