Street Child Africa

Homepage

Street Child Africa works with local partner organisations in sub-Saharan Africa to support children in street situations who are often uncounted and unheard. These children are denied access to education and healthcare, subject to violence and overlooked by government policy.  The daily injustices they face are violations of international human rights law.  Street Child Africa recognises that children in street situations are entitled to protection, provision of services and participation in matters affecting them.

Street Child Africa funds twelve grassroots organisations in eight countries; Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, DR Congo, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

• Street work
• Education and skills training
• Drop-in and residential centres
• Basic healthcare services
• Family tracing, mediation and reintegration.

We are committed to working in the long-term to:

1. Ensuring funding for our partners’ activities
2. Strengthening the work of our partner organisations, and
3. Raising awareness of the conditions facing children in street situations and the causes leading to these situations.

We accomplish these goals by fundraising, supporting staff training, project planning, and local and international advocacy work. Street Child Africa’s work in sub-Saharan Africa helps children in street situations to realise their rights and their potential. Their potential is our inspiration.
