Over the past year, we have seen a significant rise in the number of children, aged 5 to 11 years old, who have become trapped in child labor. Every day, children, like Catherine, are at risk of entering the workforce before they’ve even had a chance to have a childhood.

A child’s education should not become an option in the midst of economic hardships. We must break the cycle of poverty and child labor. We must remove children out of the workforce and back into school and help families avoid making this choice in the first place.

Your giving is the difference between poverty and possibility for a child living in Zambia. Make a life-changing gift today.
