WELCOME TO STREET KIDS DIRECT

We are a volunteer-run charity that has a passion to help vulnerable children and youth living on the streets or at very high-risk of street life.

We hope you will join us to see a world where no child has to live on the streets or live at risk.

Street-Living Children

OUTREACH

We reach out to children and youth living on the streets and build relationships and trust with them. We seek to provide support and encouragement in leaving the streets.

High-Risk Children

PREVENTION

We work with project-partners to identify children and families at risk of taking to the streets. We support them in finding solutions to challenges that don't involve the streets.

100% Guarantee

OUR PROMISE

We ensure that 100% of the money we raise goes directly to the projects we support. This ensures the greatest impact is made in the lives of vulnerable children worldwide.

CURRENT APPEALS

We have a variety of needs that require funding. The projects below will change the lives of many at-risk children and if you donate to the project we will let you know how your donation will make an impact. Thank you for your support.

INVEST IN THE DAY-TO-DAY OUTREACH WORK

In order for Street Kids Direct to provide the daily support to over 600 children in Honduras and Guatemala, we need your partnership.

The projects below are for specific projects for our partners. But we are in much need of your support of the daily running costs of the mentoring centres, which include feeding the children, educational supplies, internet costs, electricity, transport and salary costs of those who work directly with the children.

Thank you for considering this appeal and please be encouraged to know that 100% of your donation goes directly to the fontline work with the children.
