How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Integrated Basic Needs Supportmethodology: integrated_basic_needs_supportBy providing coordinated access to education, food, lodging, and skills training tailored to individual needs, Street Children International enables impoverished children to transition out of poverty and into economic mobility, because addressing multiple dimensions of deprivation simultaneously disrupts cycles of poverty more effectively than isolated interventions.
- Multidisciplinary Intervention Modelmethodology: multidisciplinary_interventionBy coordinating professionals across disciplines to deliver holistic support, the organization prevents street children from becoming entrenched in cycles of poverty and crime, because integrated expertise allows for more accurate assessment and responsive, comprehensive care.
- Partnership-Based Service Deliverymethodology: partnership-based service deliveryBy partnering with established local institutions and not-for-profit organizations, Street Children International delivers education, vocational training, and care services more effectively and at scale, because leveraging existing infrastructure and expertise increases reach while reducing duplication and cost.
- Pavement Schools for Accessibilitymethodology: pavement_schoolsBy bringing education directly to street children through pavement schools, the organization increases access to learning, because children who are unlikely to attend formal institutions due to instability or marginalization are met where they are, enabling consistent engagement.
