What we are working toward
Every child deserves a childhood.
Time to read, play and learn with friends. These are the moments child labour takes away, and the moments every project on this page is protecting.
Why it matters
Poverty and child labour form a cycle.
When a family is poor, children often work to help. Working children miss school, so as adults they can only find low-paid jobs, and their own children face the same choice.
Raise family income
Cash transfers, livestock and job training mean parents can earn enough without their children's wages.
Rescue and protect children
Groups find children in dangerous work, bring them to safety and check that factories stay child-labour free.
Feed children at school
A free school meal gives families a strong reason to send children to class instead of work.
Keep children learning
Books, teachers and support for girls help children finish school and find better jobs.

Awareness days
Campaigns to join this year.
These international days put a spotlight on each issue. Plan an assembly, poster drive or fundraiser around one, and link it to a project above.
From action to outcomes
What the work looks like.
Behind each project are people inspecting supply chains, supporting families, serving meals, building water systems and keeping children learning. The results below are reported by organizations; they are not guarantees for an individual donation.

Before you give
Give safely.
Scams copy real charities. These habits make sure your money goes where you mean it to.
- Donate only on the charity's own website. Every button here goes straight there.
- Check that the address bar shows the charity's real web address and a lock icon.
- If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian before giving money online.
- Look a charity up on Charity Navigator or GiveWell before you give.
- Never pay someone who contacts you first and pressures you to give fast.
About this project
How this site was made.
Helping Hands is my MYP Service as Action project. It followed the five stages of service learning.
1
Investigate
Researched child labour and poverty using ILO and World Bank data, then chose four issues.
2
Prepare
Shortlisted trusted charities (now 29) and planned the sections of the site.
3
Act
Built the website, tested every donation link and shared it with others.
4
Reflect
Collected feedback and thought about what I learned and what to improve.
5
Demonstrate
Presented the site and added evidence to my portfolio.
