HELPING STREET CHILDREN

Street children are the same as our children let's take care of them

Street children are the children in the society who don't have a permanent settlement or families, they usually spend their whole time in the streets and they depend on streets to make their living, and to get food. Street children face a lot of problems because streets are not that secure for someone to sleep at and depend on it on living.

Problems that street children face and how we can help them?

There are a number of problems that street children may face and absolutely we can help them out, here are some of the problems that they face in the community

1. Insecurity 

The worst problem that street children face is insecurity as the streets sometimes have people of bad groups who lack pity for the street kids and that leads to severe harm to the ids such as being beaten, bullied, abused, and robbed. We as a community can help them by taking them to our houses and live with them

2. Lack of food and improper clothing

Kids in the street can not think of buying clothes for themselves and that leaves them with dirty old clothes that are not proper for kids to wear. They depend on people to through away food so that they can get something to eat, most of the times they don't worry about eating healthy or what only they think is that they get something in their mouths, we can make sure we provide good food and clothes them so that they may feel like normal people

3. Anxiety and many psychological effects

Street children think they don't worth living or they are not as normal kids because of what they go through and sometimes they may decide to commit suicide because they don't have a life like other kids and whenever they think about that they damage their psychology. We can help this out by making sure that we help them with al basic needs such as clothes, food, etc

4. Lack of education

Education, as we know, is very important nowadays, but unfortunately, it is unusual for street children to go to school because they don't have a good environment to make them think of studying so they lack their important right of getting an education. We can make sure that street children are accepted in our school systems so that they can also have access to education.

5. Crimes and bad groups

As street children lack food and money to spend they will whatever they have to do so that to get something to eat, that is when they commit crimes such as robbery and theft so that they get something to eat. As long as we provide basic needs to them this problem can be minimized.

Street children may be CEOs, members of parliament, teachers, doctors, tour guides, accountants, and many more as long as we don't treat them as street children. And I believe none was born street children but the failure of the community to support them when they lose their parents lead to street children, the failure of the community to support a pregnant mom who lost her husband leads to the street children. If the community will change and become a supporter, then we can minimize the number of street children in the community.

How about every house takes one street child and foster as their own kid by the next two weeks we will not have street kids anymore.
