About Street Child
Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic, and structural issues that underpin today’s education crisis. We partner with governments, UN agencies, local organizations and communities to deliver locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale-up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on delivering results in the world’s toughest places.
Street Child in Mozambique: Since 2019, Street Child has been delivering integrated education, child protection, and livelihood support in crisis-affected areas of Mozambique, particularly in Cabo Delgado. To date, we have reached over 141,000 children and engaged more than 24,000 caregivers, supporting children to be safe, in school, and learning in contexts affected by conflict, displacement, and climate shocks. Our programmes combine accelerated learning, teacher training, and school rehabilitation with community-based protection, case management, and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). We have also pioneered accelerated learning approaches, with up to 91% of out-of-school children reintegrated into formal education, and contribute to strengthening resilient, government-aligned education systems.
