Beneficiaries
Situation
Children often turn to the street for survival for different reasons, including violence, poverty and exclusion. Street children are denied access to the rights they are entitled to, the same as every other child. They are regarded as criminals simply for being on the street. Street children are vulnerable to sexual violence and exploitation and are marginalised by society. Too many of these children do not have trusted adults in their lives and lack quality street social work.
Solution
We want every street child to have access to trustworthy adults so that they are safer, better supported & valued by their communities. We will equip Street workers with the values, attitudes, knowledge & skills to ensure street children have access to basic services, protection from harm & support through street social work. We collaborate with partners to promote good practices, shape narratives around street children & advocate to ensure that states meet their obligation to street children.
