Posted by Unknown Monday, January 2, 2012 0 comments

Street children are a term used to refer to children who live on the streets. They are lived in the streets for years. Street children describe children who live or work on the streets. Some of these children live with their families. Most children on the streets are between the ages of about 5 and 18 years old, may be increase of 18 years. Street children live in abandoned buildings, cardboard boxes, parks or on the street itself. Street children are those that are not taken care of by parents or other protective guardians. They are seeped in the streets. Street children spend some time in the streets and sleep in a house with ill-prepared adults. Street children exist in many major cities, especially in developing countries. Children of the street actually live on the street (or outside of a normal family environment). Family ties may exist but are tenuous and are maintained only casually or occur.


About Street Children


A 2007 survey by Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs estimated that 12 Cities in Java have over 250,000 homeless children. Jakarta alone is estimated to have over 30,000 homeless children on it’s streets.

Who are homeless children?


    Children of families living on the streets

    From deceased parents

    Runaways from abusive families

    From parents who have moved away or abandoned their children


What dangers do these children face?


  •     Drugs

  •     Prostitution

  •     Lack of sanitation

  •     Criminal gangs

  •     HIV/AIDS

  •     Mental health problems

  •     Malnourishment


Who is helping them?


  •     Government agencies

  •     Homeless shelters

  •     Orphanages

  •     Outreach education programs

  •     Outreach health programs


Unfortunately, each of these agencies and projects is critically underfunded and cannot increase their capacity sufficiently to meet the scale of the problem. It’s clear that these children are amongst the most vulnerable in our communities. Our barefoot walks are for them and we hope others will take up the idea to raise money for these children.
