4. Welcome to Dwelling Places
Dwelling Places is run by a lady called Rita.
Dwelling Places helps children and families who are living on the streets, or in poor areas called slums.

5. Street Children... A child who has no home.
The child lives on the streets instead.
What is a street child?
There are lots of reasons, for example,
One or both of their parents may not be well
One or both parents may have died
Their parents or family may not look after them well
They may be very poor and have no money and no house
People in the area they come from may be fighting each other and it’s not safe
There may be no food or water where they live
Why do children live on the streets?

6. Some live on their own
Some find friends to live with
Some live with family, like brothers, sisters or cousins
Some live with their parents
Do the children live by themselves?
They find a place to sleep at night time, for example,
Up a tree
In a shop doorway
Where do the children sleep at night?

7. They do different tasks, for example,
Begging
Collecting old water bottles to sell for recycling
Stealing
Going through rubbish bins to find food
How do the children survive?
Sadly, yes there are lots of dangers, for example,
Hunger
Getting hurt
Getting ill
And many more
Is it dangerous for the children?
