Street Justice
Meeting children and young people on the streets, recognising the trauma they experience, working with their families, challenging negative perceptions and advocating for their rights. Find out more.

We work alongside grass-roots partners in Palestine, South Africa, Nicaragua, Burundi, India and Tanzania.
Reaching children on the streets, addressing their trauma, working with them and their families to reintegrate them into their homes, to realise their rights and recover their future.
