About the project

CSC have been working in partnership with Red Nose Day USA since 2017, on our ‘Keeping Street Connected Children Safe’ project. This project has allowed CSC to build on the commitment of the 2017 UN General Comment on Children in Street Situations, and to meaningfully shift these words into action with the support of our rapidly-growing network. With this funding, we support our network across the globe with advocacy, campaigning and shared learning opportunities, and also fund innovative direct-service delivery projects for street children across Asia, South America and Africa, reaching nearly 8000 street connected children directly so far.

Whats new?

With our 2020 – 2021 grant, CSC will sub-grant to 9 organisations across the globe, working directly with street connected children to deliver vital services on the ground and adapting this work to the unprecedented COVID-19 context. CSC will support these grantee partners and the wider CSC network on advocacy with local and national government structures, and at the international UN level. This year, we’ll deliver a set of ‘training the trainer’ advocacy sessions across the globe, launch our e-learning course for the whole network and rebuild our digitally connecting street children platform.

¡Les presentamos la maleta itinerante Ludovirus! 😷🎲✨

Ante la emergencia sanitaria, apostamos por las actividades lúdicas para minimizar los impactos del confinamiento en las familias.

Adolescentes del Centro Juvenil Santa María estuvieron disfrutando de la maleta #Ludovirus 🎲

Jugar nos invita a pensar y aprender, a distraernos y a reírnos (aunque tengamos las sonrisas detrás del tapabocas) 🤗
