Ramesh (13) lives in a poor area of Sri Lanka with his father, grandmother and 2 sisters. His mother left the family when he was younger. His father is a fisherman but cannot afford to send Ramesh to school. Ramesh is sponsored through Global Care to attend the Morning Star School where he can receive an education. He enjoys school because it gives him hope for a better future.
Help us to give a hope and a future to the forgotten children around the world.

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
