From Streets to Classrooms: Empowering Children

We enroll street-working children in private schools so they can discover their potential and break the cycle of poverty. Our mission is to reach the most under-served boys and girls, giving them access to quality education while easing the burden on their families.

​

Because these children often earn money by begging, collecting recyclables, selling pens, or polishing shoes, we compensate their families with a monthly food package. The results have been transformative—see Ali’s story for an example.

​

What each student receives

  • Transportation to and from school

  • Lunch every day

  • Uniform and basic school supplies

  • After-lunch homework support

​

Support for families

  • Monthly food deliveries that replace the income the child once brought home

​​

Together, these services give street-working children the chance to learn, thrive, and build a brighter future.
