Making the invisible, visible
Thousands of children are living on the chaotic streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, at locations such as Sadarghat Launch Terminal, Komalapur Railway Station and Buses Terminal like Mohakhali. The children are without shelter, surviving on very little food and subject to all kinds of physical and mental violence.
Family breakdowns, abandonment from relatives, poverty, physical and emotional violence at home and school, mental health problems, drugs abuse and kidnappings by organised criminals (Mastans) are among the leading causes for these children who end up on the streets.
In Dhaka, Muslim Charity along with its partners is bringing these children to a safe environment by providing repatriation to their families or temporary and permanent shelters.
