The effect of politics, economics, social crises
90% of street children use psychoactive substances(medicines,
alcohol, cigarettes, heroin, cannabis) Medical care! Inadequate living condition increase susceptibility to chronic illnesses The mental, social and emotional growth are affected by their
nomadic lifestyles … Security, protection, and hope More than anything else, they lack love!
