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.

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...
