There are over 100 million street kids world wide. They are boys and girls living in rich and poor countries. Poverty and global issues such as war, AIDS and political instability have led these youth to be orphaned, abused and forced them to the street to become income earners.

media & publications

On a regular basis Street Kids International Staff and associates participate in events and produce documents on issues affecting street youth. We have provided these resources here for your use. Please feel free to reference them in your research and pass them on to others.
