Welcome to Street Child Africa

Children in street situations are often portrayed as either powerless victims or societal nuisances.

At Street Child Africa, we recognize that they are entrepreneurial, tenacious and intelligent.

But, they need our help.

Just like all other children, they are entitled to education, healthcare and protection.

But their access to it is often denied.

They are however at risk being caught up in a cycle of poverty.

They need a responsible adult in their lives, to offer guidance, hope and support.

But most importantly, they must be given choices and opportunities to build their own future...
