Street children are poor or homeless children who live on the streets of a city, town, or village. Homeless youth are often called street kids or street child; the definition of street children is contested, but many practitioners and policymakers use UNICEF's concept of boys and girls, aged under 18 years, for whom "the street" (including unoccupied dwellings and wasteland) has become home and/or their source of livelihood, and who are inadequately protected or supervised.
According to the "A Better Life" foundation, there are three different categories of street children:
-Children on the streets make up approximately 75% of the street children in the Philippines. They work on the streets but do not live there. They generally have a home to return to after working, and some even continue to attend school while working long hours on the streets.
-Children of the street make their homes on the street. They make up 25%-30% of the street children in the Philippines. They often create a sort of family with their fellow street children. Some of them still have family ties, but may either rarely tend to them or view them negatively.
-Completely abandoned children have no family ties and are entirely on their own for physical and psychological survival. They make up approximately 5%-10% of the street children in the Philippines
Problems that these street childrens are suffering :
-drugs(marijuana, shabu, rugby)
-health problems by which some of them are having some diseases, skin allergies, flu's, or even HIV/AIDS
-child prostitution and ex*****on
In this society were stepping through childrens are the number 1 victims of all the problems that our society facing off as if instead of they are having fun with their friends, having there primary needs (shelter, food, and clothes), having a perfect life together with their families they are already looking a way to survive and do things that are all bad. What is the essence of the saying that childrens are the hope of our future if we can't help them to surpass their own missions in our society? Lets have a helping hand and good heart to stand and be the voices of those young ones with those simple things like giving them education and we all know that with those simple acts it can make a greater impact ❤💖👍
