 <\/strong>One third of India’s people live in extreme poverty, going hungry for days at a time, getting sick from preventable diseases, and struggling to find clean water. With so many challenges, millions of children in India cannot attend school long enough to graduate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children trapped in poverty are forced to drop out and find ways to survive, working 12-hour days or marrying men who are decades older. And when they have children? The devastating cycle continues.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1489516089145{background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1489511969721{margin-top: -25px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
