Islamabad - Pakistan
Islamabad, Pakistan is where we'll be starting the first stage of this campaign. During my last trip there in 2021, I got to sit down and color with a group of young boys who were all very excited to show off their coloring skills. All of the boys, ages 7 to 13, wanted to color, spend time, and be creative. If you can afford to donate or buy coloring books, you can help us put a smile on the faces of these kids.
Street Children of Pakistan Organization:
In a developing nation like Pakistan, with no social security system in place, children and young people end up on the street due to dire poverty and fragmented families. According to Government estimates, there are more than 1.5 Million children, both boys and girls, living on the streets of Pakistan. In large cities, where crimes are rampant and rule of law is far from being reinforced, the number of children working on the street is far higher than the official estimates.
