Who is The Big Umbrella?

The Big Umbrella is a non profit grassroots (NGO) dedicated to fighting the multi-billion dollar child trafficking industry.

There are more than 30 million slaves in the our world today. More than at the height of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

More than 70% are female and 50% are children.

Child Trafficking is said to be the third most profitable industry world wide, after drugs and weapons.

More than 14,000 girls from Nepal are sold illegally to India for the sex trade every year.

There is up to 8,000 children living on the streets of Kathmandu.

The Big Umbrella house is now open.

Dreams can come true,  for 10 children from the streets of Kathmandu. They now have a place they can call home.

 

 

‘Our purpose is to provide safe housing, food, vocational training and the much needed support, love and understanding to the victims of child trafficking during the transitional stage from street to home. We aim to create a wider awareness about this shocking form of human slavery, which sadly affects thousands of children every year.’

‘To live a life on the streets as a child, is to live in darkness with no voice’

- Justin Marc Dickinson, Founder  The Big Umbrella.
