"Street Angels keeps children off the streets, safe at home with their families, and in school."
Everyone knows that millions of children worldwide are dying of hunger and that millions more are forced to toil in wretched, dangerous conditions for their daily bread.
In 1988, three very ordinary people decided they could no longer turn a blind eye to this ugly reality. A Canadian social worker on holiday in Brazil, a local cab driver, and a semi-literate domestic worker joined hands and committed themselves to keeping as many children as they could off the streets of Salvador, Bahia. From these early seeds has grown an amazingly efficent grassroots network spanning Brazil, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Street Angels has no paid directors, professional staff or corporate offices. We accompish our miracles on a volunteer shoestring.
