Who is Street Child?
We are Street Child. We believe every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn.
Currently, 125 million school-aged children are out of education worldwide. Millions more children are in school but failing to learn.
Street Child believes that achieving universal basic education is the single greatest step that can be taken towards the elimination of global poverty.
