- a charity run by volunteers
Our mission is to work in partnership with local organisations in Central America to help children and young people who live on the streets and prevent high-risk children taking the dangerous step to living on the streets.
Who we are
We are a unique volunteer-run charity that guarantees 100% of its income goes to the projects we partner with.
What we do
We work with children and young people who live on the streets or who are at high-risk of taking to the streets.
How to help
There are many ways you could help us impact the life of a vulnerable child today, including volunteering from home.

Another street death in Guatemala City
With over 28 years of experience of working with street-living children and youth, we have proven our commitment to helping the most vulnerable.
Since 1992 our Director and founder, Duncan Dyason, has worked on the streets of Guatemala City and continues to live in Guatemala to this very day.
AVAILABLE FOR CHILDREN
The projects we support are available to children and young people at risk no matter what time of the day or night it is.
OUR HEART has always been to reach children and young people living in the streets and prevent children living at high-risk from taking to live in the streets. Our outreach programme targets those living on the streets and offers them practical solutions and options to start their lives again or we will try and keep them alive as long as possible.
Prevention is better than cureTarget the most vulnerableOffer to be a friend
We help fund prevention work that targets the most vulnerable children who have a strong connection to the streets and four or more risk factors in their lives and offer them practical help and support.
The core element of all our work is the specially designed mentoring programme that provides a caring consistent adult to a child at risk. As the relationship develops between the child and the mentor something special begins to happen and we start to see the child improving in almost every area of their life and keeping off the streets.
