We want to change the world for street children by:

• Ensuring they can access services, resources, care and opportunities that other children have,
• Amplifying street children’s voices so they can make their views known,
• Putting an end to the discrimination of children living on the streets.

Why they matter?

Street children depend on the streets for their survival – whether they live on the streets, work on the streets, have support networks on the streets, or a 
combination of the three.

Nobody knows exactly how many street children there are, but each has their own unique story. Their reason for being connected to the streets are many and varied but poverty, displacement due to natural disasters and conflicts, discrimination, abuse or family breakdown can all play a role.

What We Do

Since children on the streets are vulnerable in many ways CRO advocates for their rights and protection. These activities include lobby meetings with local leaders, radio talk shows and sensitization meetings with different community groups.

CRO projects conduct radio talk shows on the local FM  stations in their areas of operation to talk about the rights and protection of children on the streets and community support for their rehabilitation and education. We also print posters to educate the community on domestic violence which had now become a lead cause of children coming on the streets.

We involve the children to participate in child rights-centered days like INternational Of Street Children(IDSC) and the Day of African Child (DAC). On such days , children particaipate in various activities that help echo their voice over their rights.
