Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic, and structural issues that underpin today&#8217;s education crisis.

We pride ourselves on delivering results in the world&#8217;s toughest places.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Street Child in Mozambique:<\/strong> Since 2019, Street Child has been delivering integrated education, child protection, and livelihood support in crisis-affected areas of Mozambique, particularly in Cabo Delgado. To date, we have reached over 141,000 children and engaged more than 24,000 caregivers, supporting children to be safe, in school, and learning in contexts affected by conflict, displacement, and climate shocks. Our programmes combine accelerated learning, teacher training, and school rehabilitation with community-based protection, case management, and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS).
