CONSORTIUM FOR STREET CHILDREN

transforms the lives of the world’s most vulnerable children by providing training for social workers on the streets. This helps street children access healthcare, education and a path to a safer future.

MEET RANJEET

MEET RANJEET
Ranjeet lives in India with his parents and younger sister. Aged just ten years old, he should have  been in school but instead spent long days collecting and selling rags on the streets after becoming his family’s sole earner.

TRUST THAT TRANSFORMS LIVES

TRUST THAT TRANSFORMS LIVES
Last year, Ranjeet met Priyanka (pictured here), a social worker trained by the Consortium for Street Children. Priyanka helped to transform his life by linking him with food, counselling, and supporting his re-enrolment in education.

SUPPORT LASTING CHANGE

SUPPORT LASTING CHANGE
It costs £50 to train a social worker to support street children, helping them access healthcare, food, education or a safe place to sleep. Please donate to give more children like Ranjeet a safer, happier future.
