Be part of the change
Drive impact, build community, and change street children's lives
Partnering for change
Partnering with us gets you right at the coalface of change – so says David Schofield from Aviva, with whom we partnered on the innovative, multi-year Street to School project, and whose support was pivotal in the development and adoption of the UN General Comment 21 on Children in Street Situations.
Our corporate partners benefit from engagement aligned with their brand values and creates a meaningful global impact, as well as tailored opportunities to engage employees. If you’re interested in partnering to keep more street-connected children safe, please contact Felix Holman, CEO, by emailing felix@streetchildren.org .
What we can do together
In all our work we are determined to change lives, attitudes and systems, so that street children can lead safe and fulfilling lives. We are making progress, but to accelerate action we need allies and investors. We welcome support from new corporate partners who would like to work with us on this urgent mission.
Programme-specific corporate support
Our work spans ‘on the streets’ support to engagement at the highest levels of the UN, meaning whatever your business values, we can put your donations to the most efficient use in supporting change for street-connected children.
We are happy to discuss particular project ideas or areas of work to ensure your involvement is tailored to your business goals. To get in touch, please email felix@streetchildren.org
Fundraising
Facilitate staff engagement and support some of the world’s most vulnerable children at the same time! We work with companies to arrange give as you earn, matched giving, and fundraising programmes. These initiatives give us the financial assurance to plan for the future and flexibility to respond to emergencies and opportunities, and give companies the platform to engage their employees and build strong teams.
In-kind giving and pro bono services
We understand that employees need to feel a sense of purpose if they are to give up their time and energy to support a cause.
We work with our corporate partners to develop innovative and creative employee programmes that utilise expertise, not just time, so that employees can see how they have made a difference, and employers see increased employee engagement, recruitment and retention. If you would like to explore engagement opportunities for your staff, please email felix@streetchildren.org

Baker McKenzie is a leading multinational law firm, and is one of the largest international firms in the world.
Baker McKenzie partnered with CSC to ensure street-connected children are visible on legal and policy agendas. Baker McKenzie invested funds to support the development of our Legal Atlas as well as providing unparalleled legal expertise.
With support from A&O Shearman Foundation, CSC launched an Access to Justice initiative across West Africa to strengthen legal protections for street-connected children and to empower the West Africa Strategic Advocacy Group as a child-rights based, locally rooted, regional movement. The small grants programme is helping to shift social attitudes and drive legal and policy reforms through local partners in Ghana, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, utilising CSC’s “Street Champion” model to ensure children are protected as rights-holders, not criminalised for survival behaviours.
HP became a partner of CSC in 2019, providing both financial support through employee contributions and match funding, along with analysis for 13 countries represented in our Legal Atlas.
