Orphan Girls Empowerment through Vocational Skills
Organization information
Advocacy, Research, Training and Services (ARTS) Foundation
Location: Mirpurkhas, Pakistan
Summary
The studies have shown that 10%-15% of orphan children commit suicide before they reach age eighteen and studies show that 60% of the girls become prostitutes. The environment in which the majority of these orphans grow up is fraught with numerous challenges and access to basic rights such as education, employment, protection from abuse and exploitation, are all compromised. This project will provide vocational and life skills for decent living to 150 orphan girls of the age of 18-25 years.
