They support children like 11 year old Arvind, who until April this year was working 7 days a week, dawn to dusk, making and carrying heavy bricks. Now Arvind goes to school - and he loves it!
Donations to End to Child Labour Project will be generously matched by The Big Give’s Champions during the campaign, meaning your money can support twice as many children.
Julia Krepska, Founder of Our Sansar said: "These are very challenging times and the need for our support is even more apparent than before. We hope that we will raise the amount needed to help the children receive education and to help their families.
"Our main goal is to end child labour, particularly in such hazardouns settings as brick factories. We understand that these are very difficult times for everyone and really appreciate any support.'
How can you get involved? Visit https://cutt.ly/oursansar_end_child_labour and make a donation from 12pm (midday) on #GivingTuesday (Tuesday, 29th November). The campaign will close at 12pm on Tuesday, 6th December.
Watch Sahar Zand talk about her experience with Our Sansar and the impact of the charity's work on the lives of the children who were involved in child labour, here
Julia finished by saying: "Please spread the information amongst your contacts!"

The Concert will be held at St Mary de Haura Church in Shoreham from 1 - 2pm.

A unique gift to support independent pubs
The decrease in revenues caused by Londoners' budgeting less towards going out, added to the increase of costs, results in a serious challenge to keep the hospitality businesses running. Not to mention the massive staff shortage disruptions.
While big chains may be well equipped to weather the current economic situation, it's much harder for independent businesses to keep their business afloat.
It is imperative that they keep supporting the independent businesses that make London tick! That's why they launched CityStack: to encourage people to go back to independent pubs!
They have limited stocks, get your pack now! If you plan to treat pub lovers for Christmas, don't wait and order it now to make sure you receive it on time for Christmas!
To help prevent the most common electrical problems with Christmas lights, and to enjoy a safe and happy festive season, we recommend the following simple precautions and checks.
Electrical Safety First is the UKs leading electrical safety charity and they have issued Christmas lights safety guidelines:
Always
read and follow manufacturers' instructions
Check your Christmas lights are undamaged and not broken before you use them use and watch outlook for loose wires
Only use replacement bulbs of the same type and rating as those originally supplied with the lights
Ensure all outdoor lights are connected using a 30mA RCD protected socket
Replace failed lamps immediately to prevent any risk of overheating
Make sure plugs and transformers are plugged in indoor outlets, even if the lighting is suitable for use outside
Switch your lights off and always unplug them before you go to bed or go out
Keep lights away from flammable decorations and materials that can burn easily
Never
Use lights outdoors unless they are specifically designed and rated for use outdoors
Connect different lighting sets together
Connect lights to the supply whilst still in the packaging
Remove or insert lamps while the chain is connected to the mains supply
Overload sockets, -try to avoid the use of extension leads or adaptors whenever practicable
Attempt to repair faulty lights. Always replace them
Use lights that are damaged or faulty
And That's Christmas joins Electrical Safety First in recommending the use of LEDs over traditional filament Christmas lighting because:
They operate at extra-low voltage which significantly reduces the risk of electric shock.
They use much less power, generating little heat and so reducing the risk of fire and burn injuries, thus making them safer to use.
They are estimated to use 80-90% less electricity than filament lamps so are much cheaper to run and typically last up to 60 times longer, too.
They are more durable. Because LED lights are made of a special plastic and have no filament, there are no glass lamps to break.
They are a great deal more efficient to run and good at saving energy so are more environmentally friendly.
