Answer 8

Street children, street kids or street urchins are homeless children who live on the street – in particular, those that are not taken care of by parents or other adults. Street children live in abandoned buildings, containers, automobiles, parks, or on the street itself.

Street Children are classified by UNICEF into the following categories:

Children on the street: This is the largest group, consisting of children who work on the street.
Children of the street: These include runaways, abused, alienated children from deprived and poverty stricken families who are unable to maintain normal family units.
Children in the street: The smallest group, covering orphans and abandoned children whose parents may have died from war, illness or simply been unable to look after the children because of their family circumstance.
[Ref. UNICEF] [citation needed]

Estimates vary but one often-cited figure is that the number of children living independently in the streets totals between 100 million and 150 million worldwide.

Street children exist in many major cities, especially in developing countries, and may be the subject of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or even in extreme cases murder by "clean up squads" hired by local businesses.[citation needed]

The reasons by which children abandon their homes are varied but can be summarised in a series of push and pull factors. The first include extreme poverty, severe family conflict, abuse and neglect, or parental abuse of alcohol and drugs. The pull factors include a perceived freedom in the streets, and a better way to provide for themselves. In short, the child feels he has a better opportunity in the streets than in home.

In Latin America, a common cause is abandonment by poor families unable to feed all their children. In Africa, an increasingly common cause is AIDS.

In Russia, street children usually[citation needed] find a home in abandoned sewage systems during the harsh winter. These underground homes offer space, shelter and most importantly of all, heat.

The Republic of India is the seventh largest and second most populous country in the world. With acceleration in economic growth, India has become one of the fastest growing developing countries. This has created a rift between poor and rich; 22 per cent of the population lives below the income poverty line. Due to unemployment, increasing rural-urban migration, attraction of city life and a lack of political will India now has one largest number of child laborers in the world. Street children are subject to malnutrition, hunger, health problems, substance abuse, theft, CSE, harassment by the city police and railway authorities, as well as physical and sexual abuse. Though Government of India has taken some corrective measures and declared child labor as illegal.



Most of the slum families in Goa live in one room houses or shacks. Children are forced to work by their parents, selling plastic bags, working in hotels or factories, rag picking and begging. Although child labour is banned in India, millions of children live and work in these appalling conditions and never even have the chance of going to school.

Volunteers who join this programme will help educate children who have been rescued from the streets and placed into children’s homes. Your day will start early as you will help the children get ready for school in the morning. You then walk them to school where you will help teach an assortment of subjects, such as English, Maths, science and sports. After school finishes you then walk the children home and just when you think the day is over, ‘play time’ starts. As many of the children are orphans or come from troubled families, they do not have the same family support that most of us are fortunate enough to have and they need all the attention and encouragement they can get. To put it simply, they just want to be children, and they want to play. Be warned their energy knows no bounds! After enjoying an evening meal with the children, volunteers are free to relax and home is only a few yards away.

The youngest children that come into El Shaddai’s care are about 3 years old and the charity will continue to provide care for these children until they become fully independent. A children’s village is currently being built so when they finish school they can make the next big step. By working at the school and the children’s homes you will help provide the children with the right skills to make this leap. If children want to go to university or to start a business El Shaddai will try and help them achieve these goals. The charity has already seen some children complete their schooling and they are now working for the charity, dedicating their lives to helping children who were just like themselves.



No formal skills are required. Volunteers must be fluent in English and any volunteers with vocational skills may be asked to help out at the vocational training centre or children’s home. The purpose of the vocational school is so that the children have options and skills for when they finish their education. Current classes being run there are tailoring, hair cutting, beauty therapy, carpentry, card making and glass paintings.






Volunteers will all receive a two day induction in Goa. During the induction you will learn about El Shaddai and its goals, you will learn about your role and the main areas you can help, as well as seeing the day/night shelters, the children’s homes and the school. You will also be shown the local area and be given a few pointers on the local culture. At the end of your time you will receive a certificate.





Goa is an idyllic coastal state of South Western India, which is most famous for its sandy beaches and laid back way of life.

Goa is warm throughout the year with temperatures averaging between 28-32C (80-90F). Humidity rises from April, with the monsoon coming in June and July.
