Street Child

Street Child is a UK charity, established in 2008, that aims to create educational opportunity for some of the most vulnerable children in Africa and Asia. Starting in Sierra Leone, then the poorest country in the world, we have supported over 60000 urban and rural children to access a quality education.

Whether working with children on the streets, those in rural communities that simply have no schools, or in crisis areas where children’s ability to learn has been adversely affected,  Street Child is  committed to transforming lives through increased access to education with a core focus on sustainability. Their ultimate goal is to bring education to the world’s most vulnerable children. So far they have helped more than 60,000 out-of-school children progress through education, built 300 rural schools and trained nearly 1,000 teachers. They also have given out over 15,000 small business grants ensuring parents can send their children to school and keep them there long- term.
