Friends-International: Together, building futures.
 Story from the field
Welcome To Friends-International
 Together, building futures.

Street Children are seen in all large cities of the world: children of all ages living, begging and working on the streets. Their number keeps increasing all over the world – the number of street children has been estimated at 150 million.

Friends-International offers creative and exciting projects involving the children, their families and their communities, to reduce the number of children living on the streets in South East Asia and beyond.

Discover more about the children, our work with them, or get in contact with us.
Let’s work together, so that no child ever has to live or work on the streets!

Overview

Together, we protect marginalized urban children and youth and with them create innovative and exciting opportunities to build their futures.
