Homeless Child

Homeless Child believes that no child should live in poverty. In Rio de Janeiro, more than 7 million children are living on the street, faced with extreme violence, sexual exploitation, dire poverty and an ever increasing crack epidemic that kills every addicted child within 6-8 months.

Our projects give these children a chance for a home, an education, love and a future.

By building social networks which provide care, support and access to education, we work to strengthen the capacity of local communities and families through a network of locally based partnerships, and provide shelter and a family environment to those children who have no place to go.

By getting involved with Homeless Child you can help make a difference to the lives of Rio de Janeiro’s most vulnerable children.
