This year we will be coming together with members of our global network, expert practitioners and researchers to share a range of initiatives and projects focused on the theme of keeping street-connected children safe. As well as presentations and workshops there will be two training sessions and the opportunity to learn about new research being carried out within the sector.

Our annual network forum has always been a fantastic opportunity to come together and share and learn from each others work, and we are really excited at the sessions we have coming up this year.

We want to change the world for street children by:

  1. Ensuring they have the same access to services, resources, care and opportunities that other children have
  2. Amplifying street children’s voices so they can make their views known
  3. Putting an end to the discrimination street-connected children around the world face on a daily basis

We work to:

Support, grow and seek funding for a connected global network

Create shared learning and research

Guide policy and influence decision makers

Why does it matter?

Street children depend on the streets for their survival – whether they live on the streets, work on the streets, have support networks on the streets, or a combination of the three.

Nobody knows exactly how many street children there are, but each has their own unique story. Their reason for being connected to the streets are many and varied but poverty, displacement due to natural disasters and conflicts, discrimination, abuse or family breakdown can all play a role.
