Pakistan Street Children

Save a child living on the streets in Pakistan

“Whoever does not show mercy to our young ones, or acknowledge the rights of our elders, is not one of us.” (Hadith Ahmad)

Street children in Pakistan face daily struggles: abuse, exploitation, and no access to education. Our Aminah drop-in centre in Lahore provides children with education, healthcare, rehabilitation, psychosocial support, a safe space, food, and skill development.

Help transform the future of a street child.

£50 - Contribute towards changing the life of a street child by providing food, a safe space, healthcare, counselling, and skill development, giving them a way out of abuse and exploitation.

£76 per month / £920 per year – Provide food, safe space, healthcare, counselling, and skill development.

£152 for two months – Provide food, safe space, healthcare, counselling, and skill development.

No home, no education, no protection

An estimated 1.5 million children live on the streets in Pakistan. Many have been abandoned or escaped violence; others are forced onto the streets due to extreme poverty.

Our skilled outreach workers reach vulnerable children, transforming their lives with care, safety, and guidance. Children are taken into our centre to receive education, recover from trauma, and learn skills for the future.

• Safe space, nourishing meals, and health check-ups
