Why Street Child World Cup?

Today there are 150 million children in the world living on the street with no voice, no future. No child should live on the streets.

Street Child World Cup is doing something about changing this, giving street children a voice, an opportunity to be somebody.

This coming March football returns to its spiritual home: Brazil. I will be heading out with the Street Child World Cup team and hundreds of volunteers next month to assist in this once in a lifetime project. Ahead of the FIFA World Cup the second-ever Street Child World Cup will take place in Rio de Janeiro, uniting 250 street children from up to 20 countries, drawing from a network of outstanding projects all campaigning for the rights of street children. 

Please help us on our mission to bring attention to the issues faced by some of the most vulnerable children in the world like Crystal in this video. Crystal is one of many street children supported by Street Child World Cup and will be coming out to Rio with us. 

What will your donation do? 

I need to raise as much money as possible to help fund the cost of sending out these street children to attend this event from twenty of the countries taking part. This will include their accomodation, travel and expenses.

Now I am sadly no marathon extraordinaire and so therefore I shall be sleeping out on the streets on Friday 28th February in the hope of raising awareness for Street Child World Cup. I would be so very grateful for any donations you can give me! 

Together we can make a difference. 

Thank you so much x x x
