Beneficiaries
Situation
Street Connected Children (SCC) that we support in India, Kenya & Ghana are marginalised with no or limited access to emergency relief, health, education and other support services. SCC face numerous abuses & violations of their rights. They are regarded as criminals simply for being on the street. SCC are deemed to be too challenging to support during normal times or throughout the pandemic. SCC’s livelihoods like begging & collecting have disappeared or declined significantly due to COVID-19.
Solution
StreetInvest's vision is for every Street-Connected Child (SCC) to have access to a trustworthy adult in their lives so that they are safer, better supported and valued by their communities. To achieve this vision, we promote & support Street Work, a rights-based, child-centred, strength-based approach that responds to the realities of SCC rather than treating them as either victims or criminals. We support SCC to grow, develop and reach their full potential, reducing abuse & discrimination.
