 What an amazing day! Since 2012, International Day for Street Children has been celebrated globally on April 12 to acknowledge the strength and resiliency of street children around the world. Millions of children worldwide rely on the streets to survive. Over 60,000 of those children are living on the streets of Nairobi. One of the greatest needs of street children is clothing. Children often end up living on the streets with nothing but the clothes on their back. This year, with your help, MADE IN THE STREETS raised awareness and funds to provide clothes to those children in Nairobi, Kenya. Through your generosity, you were able to provide new clothes and care to over 200 street children in need! Thank you to everyone who participated, spread the news, and gave. Street children are worth celebrating! Check out how the team celebrated in Kenya...

On the 12th of April, organizations all over the world will be identifying the International Day for Street Children: a special day granting the power and courage of millions of street children all over the world. International Day for Street Children (IDSC) has been celebrated worldwide since 2012, to identify the humanity, decorum and rebelliousness of street children in the face of incredible adversities. This year, we are also identifying the work and dedication exposed by those working on the streets with children, and call for accurate identification and support to be offered to these frontline workers. There are several reasons children turned out to be on the street. One of the most usual causes is they reside in a country where war and conflict are unrestrained. Children in this situation are either isolated from their family or their family members have died. Some children leave home freely because they are maltreated by family members. Other children reside on the street because they are turned down by their family, have mental health problems, or are being compelled into criminal activity. Leave a Reply. |
