- 60 percent of children survive on less than $1.25 a day.
- 43 percent are malnourished.
- Nearly 12 percent of all children born in India will not live to their first birthday.
- 20 percent have no access to education at all.
- 70 million children are forced into child labor.
- Thousands of children become victims of child trafficking.

Clothing for Children
When children come to an IGL, they come with just the clothes on their backs which, in some cases, are just tattered rags. For less than the cost of a pair of sneakers, you can provide this most basic need.
