Gender Justice
Reaching children on the streets, addressing their trauma, working with them and their families to reintegrate them into their homes, to realise their rights and recover their future.
From the street to the stadium
The second-ever Street Child Cricket World Cup was held in Chennai, India, in September 2023, and reigning champions and Amos partner Karunalaya were the host city team!
Karunalaya used the event to challenge gender-based violence against girls and women living on Chennai’s streets, equip them to live the lives they dream of and highlight the rights of all children and families living in pavement-dwelling communities.
Street Child Cricket World Cup
September 2023
Thank you so much for joining our team as we championed Karunalaya’s campaign to continue to support girls and women. The money raised will allow them to take the success of the Street Child Cricket World Cup back into the pavement-dwelling communities these children come from.
We want to use this opportunity to show our talent in sports and speak out against the discrimination and violence we’ve experienced. Everyone is against us because we come from pavement-dwelling communities, but that needs to change. Priya

Cricket has changed my life completely. Because nobody respected us when we were living on the streets. But now, because of cricket, it has changed my life, now people respect us. Monisha
