Project C.A.R.E. | A Community Effort to Eradicate Forced Child Begging

http://care.gilani.me
A crowd-sourced effort to eradicate forced child begging.

In Pakistan, it is common to see young children, under the age of 15, 是谁被他们的父母或不知名的黑手党逼着在街上乞讨. Only in Pakistan are these future doctors, engineers, and entrepreneurs ignored by every citizen that passes them.

We wanted to help eliminate this terrible practice, but imagine our surprise, when we discovered that a law already exists to curb it. 这次可持续发展目标黑客马拉松让我们有能力利用我们的技术做好事.

As citizens of Pakistan and as human beings, 我们问自己，既然有严格的法律保护儿童，而且政府机构似乎也表现良好，为什么还有儿童在街头乞讨.

我们意识到更多的民间报告和对这些组织的监督是有待改进的，所以我们开始用技术来做这件事.
