How have we helped?

The funds were raised by 21st Century Leaders, from the sale of Whatever It Takes products.

21st Century Leaders' funding helped Anti-Slavery International support key partners that work closely with vulnerable children, specifically focused on the Forced Child Begging Project; to draw attention to the abuse, those who benefit and the reasons it continues to be allowed. Anti-Slavery developed advocacy & actions aimed directly at governments, child beggars & their families, in order to protect & rescue children & to end the practice.
