Street Child Africa: Getting African Kids Off the Streets


Founded in 1994, Street Child Africa is a small charity determined to make a big difference in the lives of street children in Africa. Headquartered in Thames Ditton, Surrey, Street Child Africa funds 12 grassroots organizations across 8 sub-Saharan countries to support children who do not have access to education, health care, and national development strategies. Working towards a world where all African youngsters are safe, loved, and attain their potential, Street Child Africa aims to engage, educate, and empower street kids in a nurturing environment.

Through their partner organizations, Street Child Africa fosters children's skills, learning, and physical and emotional well-being. The charity also encourages kids to enjoy and express themselves through art, music, sports, and play. Street Child Africa not only answers the immediate needs of street kids but also plans for their long-term future and addresses the root causes of street migration. To date, Street Child Africa has raised more than £6 million.
