Do you remember your first day at school? The excitement of getting ready for your very first class? 🏫📘 This year, for our Back to School appeal, we want to ensure that every child around the world experiences that first day feeling. It’s not just about getting children into the classroom, it’s about ensuring they are learning, and giving them the tools to build their own futures. For as little as £4 a month you can support a child’s education for a whole year. If you set up your regular gift before the end of September, we’ll commit to getting a child into school this term, so you know your money is making an immediate difference. Throughout this Back to School season, we will be sharing more information on how you can get involved, and the impact of your support. Be sure to keep an eye on our channels for many more updates!

About us
Street Child works to see all children kept safe, in school and learning—especially in low resource environments and emergencies. Our vision is a world where it is seen as unacceptable for a child not to be in education. But today there are 250 million school-aged children around the world who are not in education. Millions more children are in school but failing to learn. Street Child believes that education is a fundamental right and achieving universal basic education is the single greatest step toward eliminating the inequality gap and global poverty. We go to places where others don’t go, where we seek out remote, hard-to-reach, fragile and disaster-affected states that are forgotten about and ignored. It’s in these contexts where our pragmatic and cost-effective approaches can make a real difference to a child’s future. Street Child works to remove the complex social, economic and structural barriers to education wherever they lie. We are there to close the gaps through which the most marginalised children can slip. Our work includes not only building schools and training teachers but also protecting children and livelihood support for caregivers to ensure they can afford the cost of their children’s education. Wherever we work, we partner with local organisations and communities which allows us to be responsive and nimble. We use simple, low-cost and replicable solutions that allow us to create maximum impact for the most children. We started out supporting 100 street-connected children in Sierra Leone in 2008. Since then, we have impacted one million marginalised children in over 25 countries around the world.

Education has the power to transform lives and uplift communities 📚 Not only can education empower individuals, but a child born to a mother who can read is 50% more likely to survive past the age of five. This September, our aim is clear, to ensure that every child has the chance to go to school and access education. It’s not just about getting children into the classroom, it’s about ensuring they are learning, and giving them the tools to build their own futures. Get involved today! https://lnkd.in/eFJh6QKV #BackToSchool #FirstDayFeeling #StreetChild

Exciting news from Liberia! 📢 Yesterday, Liberia’s President H. E. Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr. launched the country's new "Street Child Project", a groundbreaking initiative spearheaded by Street Child in collaboration with Liberia’s Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection. The project aims to enrol over 50,000 street-connected children into school in Liberia over six years, connecting them to life-changing education. In addition to school enrolment, we will collaborate with the Ministry to provide livelihood support and grants to caregivers. Together, we are working to secure a brighter future for Liberia’s most at-risk children, many of whom suffer from malnutrition, homelessness, and child exploitation.

As the Paralympic Games begin, the incredible athletes competing remind us of the power of resilience, showing us that with the right support and opportunities, anyone can achieve great things—no matter the obstacles they face. 🏆 In Sierra Leone, Street Child and our local partners are working to provide those opportunities to amputee children affected by the civil war. One such child is Aminata*, who lost her arm when she was very young. Despite the challenges, her father applied for Street Child’s support in 2014, determined to ensure his daughter’s future. Now 16 years old, Street Child has supported Aminata into education, providing her with uniform, pens, stationary and funding for her prosthesis. To find out more about Aminata's story, follow the link below. https://lnkd.in/eSyUwiKs *name changed for safeguarding purposes 📷: Jack hill #Education #Paralympics2024

Meet Isatu from Sierra Leone… As a young mother, there were many challenges that prevented Isatu from receiving the education she deserved. When she met Street Child, she told them that if she was given support, she would love to go back to school and continue learning. Street Child provided her with books, bags, school uniforms and supported her so she could re-enroll into school. Now every morning, Isatu wakes up and goes to school while her mother looks after her son. This Back to School season, you can help more children like Isatu receive a life-changing education. For just £4 a month, the price of a coffee, you can support a child back into education. Donate today! https://lnkd.in/eFJh6QKV #BackToSchool #FirstDayFeeling #StreetChild
