Support-a-Child-in-Need is a children's charity, run by a group of caring people in Bradfield, Berkshire, England. Our objective is to provide humanitarian, financial, educational support and training, to underprivileged children and young people in poor areas of the world. We have started our work with projects in India, establishing skills training classes for slum and street children. The objective is to equip girls and boys with basic skills, so that they may obtain employment and thus have a better life. Many children take to the streets to help their families, or are orphans supporting brothers and sisters. Gaining an employable skill, rather than just begging, can save themselves and their dependants.
Our long term aim is to establish permanent training centres. Basic skills and vocational training will be provided and a home given to those youngsters who have nothing.
