Every action counts in the fight for our planet's future and street-connected children are no exception.

Through climate education and environmental conservation initiatives, we're empowering these children to become advocates for change while fostering a sense of #Belonging .

Football serves as a universal language that transcends barriers and unites people from all walks of life!

For street-connected children, the football field becomes a place where they feel a sense of #Belonging , acceptance, and camaraderie. #InternationalDayforStreetChildren

This year's theme of 'Belonging' for the International Day of Street Children carries a profound message. It emphasizes the importance of creating a sense of community, connection, and inclusion for street children around the world.
