WELCOME TO STREET KIDS DIRECT

We are a volunteer-run charity that has a passion to help vulnerable children and youth living on the streets or at very high-risk of street life.

We hope you will join us to see a world where no child has to live on the streets or live at risk.

Street-Living Children

OUTREACH

We reach out to children and youth living on the streets and build relationships and trust with them. We seek to provide support and encouragement in leaving the streets.

High-Risk Children

PREVENTION

We work with project-partners to identify children and families at risk of taking to the streets. We support them in finding solutions to challenges that don't involve the streets.

100% Guarantee

OUR PROMISE

We ensure that 100% of the money we raise goes directly to the projects we support. This ensures the greatest impact is made in the lives of vulnerable children worldwide.
