In today’s world, it is vitally important to address the challenge of youth poverty, as more than 200 million youth live in extreme poverty according to the 2005 United Nations World Youth Report. Street Kids International is committed to significantly reducing this unacceptably high number. Street Kids International is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Canada and the United Kingdom. Since 1988, the organization has assisted vulnerable youth around the world who find themselves unemployed, out of school, and often homeless. Street Kids trains youth and youth workers on topics of street business and street health so they are able to make positive choices and explore opportunities to better their lives.
