Donate and help us to bring innovative educational materials to over 150 million street-connected children around the globe.
These projects have already been confirmed for 2023:
Currently, our team is busy translating and adapting all educational materials to Nepali. Within a few months we will ship a school to the organization 'SathSath' in Kathmandu.
Because three mobile schools have already been started in Colombia, there is less preparatory work to start our new collaboration at 'Pastoral Social de la Diócesis' in Armenia, Colombia.
In the pipeline for 2023:
In November 2022 a team explored a potential partnership in Durban. After evaluating this visit, this could lead to the start-up of a first mobile school in South Africa in 2023.
In addition to our projects in Guadalajara, Querétaro and Mexico City, there is a high probability that a second mobile school will be shipped to the Mexican capital.
Our brand new 'Facing Trauma' toolkit - developed in collaboration with Minor-Ndako, SolidarityNow and Save The Children Romania, and co-funded by the European Union - provides an accessible and practical guide to recognising trauma, responding appropriately, and preventing retraumatisation.
In March 2025, the mobile school in the city of Querétaro in Mexico was transferred to its new home! Thanks to the team of our new local partner La Otra Bandita, the school is now again rolling through the streets of Querétaro to ensure street-connected children have access to non-formal educational activities.
During a recent trip to West-Africa, our team explored new potential partnerships in Accra with Street Children Empowerment Foundation (SCEF) and in Lomé with the Maison d'Accueil des Enfants en Difficulté (MAED). The trip was also the ideal moment to reconnect with our two active Togolese partners.
In March 2025, we launched our very first mobile school project in Zambia! From now on, the team of our local partner Unisport Academy in Kabwe will use our methodology to empower the large number of street-connected children in the city, with the support from the Belgian organisation Steunwielekes4Zambia.
At the start of April, our team conducted a very interesting prospective visit to the organisation SAFIRE in Mauritius. SAFIRE is an NGO focusing on providing a support structure to children in street situations. During the exploration, we explored if our StreetSmart tools could add value to their outreach work.
We were thrilled to launch our very first mobile school in Brazil last year! In the city of Fortaleza, our partner, O Pequeno Nazareno, is using the first Brazilian mobile school to enhance their outreach efforts in central locations across the city. The organisation is dedicated to providing opportunities for young people and adolescents living on the streets.

In August, we're planning the launch of a new mobile school in San Cristobal de las Casas in Mexico, with our new local partner Melel Xojobal. The organisation will use the mobile school in their non-formal educational outreach sessions with children from the Tsotsil and Tsetsal communities in the state of Chiapas.
A second new African mobile school is planned for the first half of 2025. Following a successful exploratory visit in November last year, the team at SALVE International in Jinja is eager to implement the mobile school methodology to empower the many street-connected children in this city at the Source of the Nile.
On the educational front, our team is currently working hard to create a small new toolkit on entrepreneurial skills, in collaboration with our friends of the Khazana Foundation. The mini-toolkit will offer a game board and two online learning programmes to allow children and youth to unlock their inner entrepreneur.
