Growing up on the Streets worked with hundreds of street children and youth in three African cities, providing unique insights contributing to international policy. 

Sharing street children and youth’s accounts of their daily lives as they seek to create adult lives to value, this site is a hub for international projects, visual and written outputs, and contributions to international policy, from this award winning collection of projects around Growing up on the Streets. 

Growing up on the Streets

Our project seeks to challenge both perceptions of street children and youth and contribute to changes in policy and implementation.
