They live and survive on the streets of cities around the world. About 40,000 die every day as a result of malnutrition and diseases that can be prevented.
Today there is no group more oppressed than street children.
This is a problem Presbyterians are facing. There is good news for those children who call the streets home. Today, Presbyterian missionaries are working with street children in Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Brazil. In Harare, Zimbabwe, Presbyterians have expanded their outreach ministry by starting a school at the downtown City Presbyterian Church. They have also created a relocation program at a farm nearby where 121 children are given love, support, and guidance.
