Child Labor in South Asia

World Day Against Child Labor is June 12, 2015

The “Where’s Andy?” video places people in the West in situations that commonly occur in South Asia. Watch this video to step into the shoes of a family experiencing the horrors of child labor.

The child laborers of South Asia toil in factories, fields, mines and even brothels. Exhausted and broken, they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Already, more than 160 million children worldwide have exchanged their futures for only a few dollars, and more join them every day. Imagine if one of them were yours.

Each child is known and loved by our God, who is Father to the fatherless. Motivated by His love, Gospel for Asia works to prevent children from becoming trapped in child labor in the first place.

Children who might otherwise face poverty, illiteracy, discrimination or child labor are discovering a future and a hope in Jesus Christ through GFA World’s Child Sponsorship Program. More than 70,000 children across South Asia are receiving education, medical care, nutritious meals and best of all, Jesus’ love while in a nurturing environment.

As children are impacted by the love of Christ, they take it home to their families—breaking the cycle of hopelessness that leads to child labor.

Help a child who needs the Child Sponsorship Program, but doesn’t have a sponsor yet.

Your donation to the Unsponsored Children’s Fund will help us provide education, medical care, nutritious meals and best of all, Jesus’ love while children wait for sponsors.
