Our urban work:

Creating maximum impact upon the numbers of children whose lives are controlled by the streets. We work directly with street children in their own environment towards reunification with their families, reintroduction to education and the creation of a sustainable home-life for their ongoing upbringing. Between 2008 and 2012 we helped reunify around 2,000 children with their families.

Our rural work:

Bringing access to education to some of the poorest, rural locations in the world. Through teacher training and the establishment of educational facilities in areas where they are needed most, we work towards ensuring that out of school children have the chance to gain an education. Between 2010 and 2012 we helped more than 10,000 children gain access to education.

STREET CHILD Partners with JOULE AFRICA to Bring Centre for Education to Bumbuna

This joint venture between renewable energy developer Joule Africa and child development NGO Street Child is set to further improve access to education in the Bumbuna area.

The Bumbuna Resource Centre will sit at the heart of the Bumbuna community, acting as a centre for educational development and offering Street Child of Sierra Leone an office from which to organise its developmental activities in the surrounding area.

Simultaneously, the building will act as a hub for community information on the second phase of the development of the Bumbuna Hydroelectric Project staffed by Joule Africa, an international company appointed by the Government of Sierra Leone to develop the project.

All ongoing activity at the centre will be funded by Joule Africa as part of the company’s commitment to social development and open discourse with the communities that surround its work.
