In the charity's own words
Global Children Relief seeks to provide assistance to the street children to rehabilitate and to provide them with quality education or an apprenticeship in a trade. Where children are having to work to support family members, we would seek to recompense the family in the amount that the child would earn and to provide that child with an education or an apprenticeship
