Street Kids Direct

We are a partner-based charity with a mission to rescue street-living children and prevent at-risk children from living on the streets anywhere in the world. We have been working in Guatemala City and with street-living children since 2001. During this time, we have worked hard in partnership with other organisations to get the number of street children from an estimated 5,000 to 0. There are many reasons why children end up street-connected or living on the streets, and each one usually has a different reason why they chose to live on the streets. However, we believe that no child should have to accept the reality of living on the streets with no alternative.This is why we now work in partnership with local organisations and families to reduce the risk of children having no other choice than the streets.
