Street Child is an international children’s charity working for a world where all children are safe, in school, and learning. Since its founding in 2008, Street Child has reached over 1.4 million children in over 20 of the world’s poorest and most disaster-hit countries, including Nigeria, Cameroon, Afghanistan and Somalia.

The charity works in challenging contexts - countries devastated by poverty, struck by natural disasters, impacted by ongoing conflict, or recovering from war. Barriers to education are often complex and interconnected, so Street Child takes a holistic approach to ensure children not only return to school but thrive. This includes building schools, training teachers, reuniting families, supporting caregivers to develop sustainable livelihoods, and providing emergency aid and mental health support.

Street Child works closely with hundreds of local partners, championing community-driven responses to deliver effective, long-term change.

Recognised globally, Street Child has won prestigious awards, including from the Library of Congress, and was the international charity for The Times Christmas Appeal in 2023, raising a record-breaking £1.5 million.
