The Consortium for Street Children (CSC) is a global network that exists to give street children a voice, promote their rights and improve their lives. We do this through our focus on Advocacy, Research and Development.
CSC has identified four values that shape the way we work and define our organisational aspirations:
Challenging
We will actively challenge common misconceptions of street children. Where change is necessary, we will challenge the status quo to ensure policies and practices recognise them. We will challenge our network and each other to strive for the realisation of street children’s rights.
Progressive
With our network, we will work hard to identify innovative solutions that address the issues faced by street children. Through leveraging and building on our knowledge we will progress and improve ways of achieving the realisation of street children’s rights.
Collaborative
We seek to bring people together and create a louder collective voice for street children. By working collaboratively, and through sharing expertise, we will have more impact. It is vital that street children are able to have their say in order to influence change.
Accountable
We will be transparent and honest in everything we do. We are a trusted partner for our network and are accountable for delivering our strategy. We are accountable to street children and promise to shine a light on the issues that affect them. We believe others should be held accountable for their actions.
