  Summary of your project	Many young people in our communities are forced onto the streets due to parental neglect, poverty, abuse, and societal violence. This vulnerable population is at risk of exploitation, addiction, and involvement in conflicts. By addressing these root causes and providing essential support, we can break the cycle of poverty and violence and contribute positively to society. The statistics provided by UNICEF are alarming: an estimated 30 million children find themselves living and working on the streets of Africa. In Nigeria, an estimated 7 million street children are making it the third in ranking worldwide.
