An emergency pack can bring hope to a street child who has lost everything
This gift helps rebuild lives shattered by crisis
Despite being some of the most affected during a disaster, when it comes to official aid, street children are often forgotten. In an emergency, relief efforts can be prioritised for the easiest-to-reach families and those with permanent addresses.
Few children on the streets possess formal identification. Without it, they cannot seek aid through official channels. Used to discrimination and harassment, street children are wary of the authorities and adults they don't know. As a result, many of them are afraid to ask for help. This prevents some of the most vulnerable in society from getting the support they desperately need.
By providing an emergency pack, which contains food, warm clothing, blankets, and a hygiene kit, you’ll help bring hope to a street child who has lost everything.
This gift helps rebuild lives shattered by crisis
In an emergency, once children’s most pressing needs have been met, we can work closely to identify what additional support is needed for long-term recovery. This work can involve replacing essential identity documents, offering microgrants to help families whose livelihoods have been lost and providing mental health support to children struggling to cope with trauma.
