Understanding street life and the journey home

Why Do Children Stay on the Street?

Leaving the street is not always a simple decision. This short film explores what can keep children there and why patient outreach, trust and understanding matter.

Why doesn’t he just go home?

Follow Chipo’s journey from the street towards his family, and discover why rebuilding trust and preparing a safe, lasting return home takes time.

From our experience

Years of working with children living on the streets have taught us that even well-intentioned help can sometimes have unintended consequences. These short videos were created to encourage people to think about how they respond when they meet a child on the street.

Helping Hand – Episode 1: Don’t Give Money

Giving money directly to a child on the street may seem like the simplest way to help. This short animation asks us to consider what happens after we drive away.

Helping Hand – Episode 2: Get the Right Help

When a child on the street needs help, the best response is to involve people and services equipped to protect the child and respond to the situation.

Children and Gambling – A Growing Danger

A short educational film about the risks gambling can pose to children – from addiction and loss of interest in school to the wider consequences for their lives and future.
