The ulimate goal for the Green Gecko Project is that every child feels safe, happy and healthy through embracing their childhood and having the resources and inspiration to reach their highest potential. 

The Green Gecko Project strives to empower these children with the skills, education, values and self esteem they need to break the begging cycle and become proactive members of society.
