DEFINITIONS BY ORGANIZATIONS • “Children on the streets are those whose families support base has become increasingly weakened, (who) must share in the responsibility for family survival by working on the city streets and market places. • Children of the street are a much smaller number of children who daily struggles for survival without family support, alone. While often called ‘abandoned’, they too might also have abandoned their families, tired of insecurity and rejection and aged up with violence…..(their) ties with home now have been broken…..de facto(they) are without families.” - UNICEF
