Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street Youth
Introduction
Although small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common
throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such
opportunities to living on the street or in difficult circumstances. Over the past nine years, Street
Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organisations in Africa, Latin America
and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of this paper is to share
some of the lessons S.K.I. and our partner organizations have learned.
Background
Typically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but to a combination of
factors: a lack of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home and so on. The street
may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a
place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative employment,
urban crime.
Street Business Partnerships
S.K.I. has worked with partner organisations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop
innovative opportunities for street children to earn income.
?
The S.K.I. Bicycle Courler Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise
were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages,
but they
were required to pay for it gradually from their wages.
?
The Youth Skills Enterprise initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross
Society. Street Youths are supported to start their own small business through business
training, life skills training and access to credit.
Lessons learned
The following lessons have emerged from the programs that S.K.I. and partner organisations
have created.
It is critical for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic
business and life skills.
Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shining kits.
All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used
to the concept of paying interest on borrowed money. Generally the rates have been modest.
Conclusion

to fulfill economic needs...
