Defining street children is a difficult task - made harder by the many uncertainties surrounding the term. The term ‘street children’ is usually applied to children under the age of 18, who either live or make a living on the streets. Some may have family connections, but others are simply abandoned or choose to run away from home, often due to domestic violence.
Street children are highly concentrated all over Bangladesh. Regardless of their location, they face hardships and exploitation. Street children are generally deprived of their right to education and have little or no access to the formal education system. The majority of them are illiterate and have either never been enrolled, or have dropped out of the formal education system, and it is difficult to secure funding for the kind of informal education which suits street children’s lives. The aim of 'Gorbo Bangladesh' is to make that possible. We are striving for providing a non-formal street school to ensure that working children get at least a basic education.
The lack of education and educational opportunities makes street children particularly vulnerable to trafficking, child labour, sexual abuse, exposure to HIV/AIDS and other STIs, and police violence. These children remain one of the most overlooked and vulnerable groups of children.
Education gives children a chance to have a better future - a better Bangladesh. In school, they learn to think independently, make their own choices and stand up for themselves. As a result, they are no longer so susceptible to abuse by others.
"Educate" redirects here.
Education in the general sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual. In its technical sense, education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values from one generation to another. Education can also be defined as the process of becoming an educated person. An educated person refers to a person that has access to optimal states of mind regardless of the situation they are in.That person is able to perceive accurately, think clearly and act effectively to achieve self-selected goals and aspirations.
