Welcome to the SSSK site

Students Supporting Street Kids (SSSK) aims to raise awareness about the issues affecting street children, and to raise money for projects that work with and for children in difficult circumstances.

Students Supporting Street Kids was set up in 1998 by two students, Johnny Glennie and Ben Phillips based on their direct experience of working with street children. Here is an account of how it started. Today in 2009 it is established in seven branches.

The main Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) which we currently support are:

• Centre for the Working Girl (CENIT) in Ecuador
• Centre for Children's Rights, Pristina, Kosovo
• The Forum on Street Children Ethiopia (FSCE)
• Let the Children Live (LCL) in Colombia
