CHILDREN AND YOUTH
We give children roots and a future.
More than 100 million children and youth live in the streets. Every year 6, 6 million children die before their fifth birthday. Nearly 200 million children between the age 5 and 14 years of age have to work. Thousands of boys and girls are misused as child soldiers, into slave sex workers, and into drug trafficking. This is unacceptable. MACMANANA YOUTH AND CHILDREN’S VISION promotes projects that protect and support former child sex workers, street children and child soldiers. We held through educational and training programs. We champion food and health projects that puts children first, because we believe that every child has a right to dignified life and future.
