what we do.

Street Kids International is a global non-profit organization that helps street kids learn to support themselves and make healthy, educated decisions that positively impact their lives. Through our work we raise awareness about the needs and rights of street youth, and develop the skills of frontline workers who support these young people.

Street Kids teams with youth workers worldwide to engage youth through innovative and interactive workshops, animations and tools about entrepreneurship, sexual health, and drug use. Having reached more than two million street kids in more than 60 countries, we’ve been recognized by the United Nations as a global best practice leader in youth work.

we engage and empower kids.

Our innovative approach to engaging street youth uses award-winning animations and interactive workshops to spark discussion with kids about how to approach issues they face on the street.

Our “street work” program empowers street kids to develop safe and productive ways to earn a living on the street.

Our “street health” program engages street kids in making informed choices about sexual health and drug use.

 

we advocate on their behalf.

Our “street rights” program emphasizes our role as advocates and educators on the rights of street kids. We challenge governments, public officials and members of the public to recognize the vast potential of street kids in their communities.
