How You Help

Life for girls and young women on the streets is particularly hard and the support they need is often challenging to provide. Our aim is to help teenage girls and young women on the streets to realise their rights.

Our partners have developed highly focused, local responses to reach children and young people on the streets. Amos Trust is committed to supporting our partners’ innovative work with girls and young women on the streets in particular. 

We currently partner with Umthombo in South Africa, New Generation in Burundi, Karunalaya in India and Cheka Sana Foundation in Tanzania.
