Important Days

The International Day for Street Children is annually observed on 12 April. The International Day for Street Children was launched on 12th April 2011. It aims to raise awareness of the millions of street children all around the world and support the vital recognition of their rights. All countries (except the US) ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and have a legal obligation to work towards ensuring that all children's rights are integrated into national law. However, the rights of street children are often overlooked.


      According to recent statistics, up to 150 million children around the world live on the street.
