What SSSK does
SSSK was founded by two students. We aim to make people aware about the issues affecting street children. This involves trying to change the systems that perpetuate poverty and exclusion. We raise money for local projects which help such children realise their potential. Our branches are run by students, and ALL monies raised or donated go to street child NGOs.
