Street Children & Trafficking

Millions of Asian children are homeless, with no family, forced to survive on the streets. Grassroots Asia contributes food, clothing, medicine and educational materials to drop-in shelters and programs which offer services to destitute children. We cooperate with organizations in Asia that develop creative solutions for preventing the trafficking of children, have conducted rescue operations, and initiated new rehabilitation programs.

Medical and Dental Services

Grassroots Asia offers medical and dental aid to individual patients and free medical clinics providing free services to the poor. In some cases, mobile units travel to remote schools and villages. Since 2003 we have donated several thousand dollars in medical and dental supplies to those providing training and services.

Sponsor A Cow Campaign

India's "Sponsor-A-Cow"

Cows, sacred and revered in India, are a great way for resident schools and orphanages to become more self-sufficient. They provide nourishment for children, vocational training and income. Grassroots Asia purchases donated cows and delivers them to schools and orphanages which have proper facilities and resources to care for them with love.
