The Street Business Toolkit is for street kids but can be applied to child domestics as well. It is a very useful training. I have taken several trainings for youth, but this one stands out because it is very close to the kids’ perspective.

livelihood & youth entrepreneurship.

Livelihood opportunities and entrepreneurship have been at the heart of Street Kids International’s work since our beginnings in 1988. The initial bicycle courier businesses gradually evolved into the training programs which have been shared in countries around the world. These trainings effectively build the skills of youth striving to gain control of their lives, and equip them with the tools for better futures.

Our work over the years has resulted in the production of a number of valuable resources on issues affecting street youth. Please feel free to reference them in your research and pass them on to others.
