Our work with street children

Every child we work with has a unique and complex set of needs but over time we’ve developed the Poverty Child toolkit to working with street and slum connected children.

Mobile Clinics

An ambulance drives out to known areas every week to provide basic healthcare

Street Schools

A cordoned street becomes classroom for learning basic literacy and numeracy

Day Centres

A safe place for a child to get a meal, wash, counselling and basic schooling

Outreach Services

Child specialists go out to connect with and offer their support to street children

Foster Care

Care staff find a good foster home or family to reintegrate the child back into society

Night Centres

A safe place to sleep at night for street children otherwise exposed to danger
