Family should give us a place to belong: to be safe, protected and nurtured.
But for many of the families we support, pressures at home caused by poverty, abuse or neglect push children to the street, where they face even greater danger.
Across Tanzania, at least 6,393 children are living and working on the street right now* – without the love, protection and support of a family.
Children like Saida** from Tanzania who, at just 11 years old, survived on the street for a month rather than live with the crushing responsibility and hunger of home.
