There are 4 categories of how societies deal with street kids: the correctional model, the rehabilitative model, the outreach strategy, and the preventive approach. Regardless of the categories it is clear we all need to be part of the solution. #Havenus#StreetKids#BeTheChange
Street children are often subject to abuse, neglect, exploitation, or, in extreme cases, murder by "clean-up squads" that have been hired by local businesses or police. Yes, your help and envolvement can mean the difference between life and death. #Havenus#BeTheChange#StreetKid

Once a child begins to live on the streets they very soon realize that life is short, violent and perpetuated by crime. In Latin America, the problem is particularly difficult. The average life expectancy of a street child is just 4 years. #BeTheChange#Havenus#StreetChildren
Street Kids Direct identify any child or young person under the age of 18 yrs who sleeps regularly on the street as a street child. These include children who work on the streets, children begging on the streets and children who spend most of their time in the streets. #Streetkid
