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 2010 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
- Nuevo Futuro, Peru
- SEED who work at Howrah Station in Kolkata
- Childhope Asia Philippines in Manila
- The Pangarap Foundation, also in Manila, Philippines
- Society of St Vincent de Paul in Sudan
- Koto (Know one teach one) in Vietnam
- Golden Futures in Cambodia
- Hope Village Society, Cairo
- The Amos Trust who are organising the Street Child World Cup
All have been suggested and recommended by SSSK members based
on personal knowledge. The trustees have adopted the policy of only supporting NGOs
which have been visited by SSSK members.
