Hope For Children Reports Increase in Children Seeking Help and Protection

Hope For Children is reporting an increased number of children seeking support and protection, revealing stories of fear, neglect, and abuse. These children struggle to speak about what happens at home, and some are even restricted by their parents from accessing education. The organization has supported children who needed to be removed from their homes for safety reasons, as well as victims of sexual abuse and cyberbullying. Despite their difficult experiences, many children demonstrate resilience and seek solutions for their future. Hope For Children provides 24/7 support through helplines, counseling centers, and shelters, with key services including the Children's Home, Counseling Centers, Foster Family Programs, and more. The helplines are available at 1466, 116000, and 116111.
