Street Action is committed to raising support for and advocating on behalf of street children organisations in Africa.
As an NGO based in the UK and the USA, we work with our local partners to tackle the complex needs of children living on the streets. We raise financial support and promote the work on the grassroots, building connections and links with our network of supporters around the world. Through our advocacy and research work, we raise awareness of the issues of street children and former street children, and seek to put the issue back on the development agenda.
