Overview: Project Partnerships

Project Partnerships

ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIPS:

Working in partnership with local projects is at the core of who we are and how we work. Not only does this make our 100% guarantee possible, but it ensures that work supports local communities, cultures and organisations.

We have four key principles to our partnerships:

RESPECT - HONESTY - RESPONSIBILITY - COMMON VISION.

HOW OUR PARTNERSHIPS WORK:

Street Kids Direct is committed to supporting any organisation that works directly with street-living children or children at very high-risk of street life.

The charity comes alongside each of the projects we partner with and help support them with funding, training and will help link them with other organisations that could help develop their work further.

OUR FOCUS:

Both Street Kids Direct and our local partners work to reach any child that is living on the streets and offer practical solutions for them to leave the streets and enjoy life in all its fulness. We also work together to help prevent children and young people from considering life in the streets by providing a strong and effective network of support around them through our specialist mentoring programme.
