Description of the project:

The project tackles the problem of integrating street children in the society. In particular, the project offers a comfortable structure of primary assistance to street children. Then, it works on retracing the family and verifying the possibility of reinserting the child, as well as providing counseling services and gradually placing the child in educational courses. Taking into consideration that the phenomenon of street children in Egypt is usually associated, from the part of the authorities, with delinquency, the project introduces activities of training and raising the awareness of the police in some outskirts of Cairo.
