Summary
Each street child has its own destiny and its own story. The following stories sent by Member
Organizations of the European Federation for Street Children (EFSC), illustrate such destinies giving a voice to these children who are often invisible. They also show the great humanitarian support work that these organizations are carrying out to help those children living on the streets, the majority of them in very precarious conditions. These stories originate from our member organizations in Greece (The Smile of the Child), Portugal (Istituto de Apoio à Criança - IAC), Albania (Save the Children Norway – South East Europe, Child Trafficking Response Programme in Albania), Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Save the Children Norway – South East Europe, Centre for Social work), Italy (Istituto Don Calabria), Bulgaria (Gavroche Foundation, Alliance for Children and Youth), Poland (Society for the Friends of the Children - TPD).
