Bright Future for Street Working Children

Social inclusion for children working on the streets who has fewer opportunities via youth initiatives

Children, some of which were even younger than primary school age, were often confronted with all kinds of abuse while working in the streets. Children at the age of compulsory education having to work caused setbacks or even total interruption in their education. Such environment prepared all the circumstances that push children, who were the architects of our future, to become unsociable individuals rather than presenting them a good future.

This situation affected not only the children but also other citizens who might be exposed to crime and their perception of the children working in streets.

Following a detailed problem analysis, it is established that the solution could not be achieved only with precautions and banning and that at the roots of the problem lied factors arising from urban poverty caused by internal immigration.

Participating youth groups/organizations will be wellcomed to make contribution on these children social inclusion via playing with them, creating wooden toys, painting, singing and sport activities.
