Street Justice Appeal

Developing highly focused, local responses that give children the opportunity and support they need to leave the street.

War and poverty forced Innocent to live on the streets of Bujumbura, Burundi aged 4. He faced capture and punishment from the authorities and aggression from older boys; he would struggle to find food and shelter.

Amos Street Justice partners work with children, using local responses to engage with children, address their trauma, and give them the support they need to leave the streets.

Innocent never thought he would ever leave Burundi, let alone play football representing his country in the Street Child World Cup, or visit the UK to learn English and share his experiences with us at Amos Day 2015.

Innocent now works as part of New Generation’s Outreach team, engaging with other street-connected children currently surviving on the streets.

It’s been a long week Karin Joseph

“Last Monday was International Women’s Day, a global day intended to celebrate women. Just 8 days ago. Since then, a number of things have happened. Meghan Markle shared openly about her mental health struggles and men in the media promptly accused her of lying for attention. A grim milestone was reached, passing a year since Breonna Taylor’s murder by police, in her own home, with as yet no justice served. The UK government are debating a new policing bill which would lead to 10-year sentences for defacing of statues, longer than the average sentence for rape.” Karin Joseph writes about a very difficult week for women in the UK.

Covid-19 in India Paul Sunder Singh

“Ambulances are queuing up for hours, with seriously ill Covid-19 patients waiting for beds to be admitted. While waiting they are supported with oxygen in the ambulance. Sometimes there is not enough oxygen available.” Paul Sunder Singh from Karunalaya in India writes about the current situation with Covid-19 in the country.

A Country On Fire Karin Joseph

“India is burning. Coronavirus is spreading throughout the country with renewed and devastating force, as new daily cases, at the time of writing, surpass 360,000, and the total death toll passes the grim milestone of 200,000. Funeral pyres are burning in car parks, on pavements and beside rivers, as crematoriums struggle to cope with the influx of the dead.” Karin Joseph writes about the current situation in India.

My Voice, Our Equal Future: Girls’ Demands

Don’t Stop Now! Gowri’s story
