Railway Children (Reg. Charity 1058991) supports children alone and at risk on the streets. Currently working in India, East Africa and the UK, our focus is on early intervention and where possible, family reintegration.
Last year we contacted over 27,000 children and helped them to access shelter, nutrition, counselling, education and vocational training. Our aim is to get to a street child before the streets get to them.
