What SSSK does

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

Consortium for Street Children Annual Review

SSSK is a member of the Consortium, and the recently published  CSC-Annual-Review-2012 outlines what they do, particularly in the areas of awareness raising and of advocacy. The CSC also reviews the research undertaken, and promotes shared learning. If you are concerned about the needs of street-connected children, and how those needs can be met, TAKE A LOOK at the Review.

A wide ranging source of information

There’s a website http://www.gvnet.com/streetchildren/ which has been set up by Professor Martin Patt from the University of Massachusetts in the USA. It is intended as an educational tool, and includes articles about the prevalence, abuse and exploitation of street children in more than 150 countries. It provides a huge resource, including some specifically for teachers and some for parents. It consists mainly of press reports and articles, but there is other material as well.
