Why it matters

For children who have experienced life on the streets, returning home without ongoing support can be fragile and unsafe. Separation is rarely caused by a single incident; it is often rooted in a combination of poverty, unresolved trauma, family conflict and loss.

Without structured follow‑up, children may be exposed to the very risks that led them to leave in the first place.

Economic pressure, unaddressed violence, or lack of emotional support can quickly destabilise families, increasing the risk of re‑separation and repeat migration to the streets.
