Street Kids International working in Mumbai
Philippa Frankl our Executive Director held a
December workshop in Mumbai on our methodologies for
helping street kids create a livelihood for
themselves. The workshop covered self-employment,
financial awareness and independence and
employability. Over 15 local youth organisations came
to hear Philippa. They are working with kids found
scavenging in the slums, sleeping rough or arriving
at the train and bus stations.
The reaction to our training materials and methods
was very enthusiastic and Philippa has been asked to
return in March to to run a pilot training course
that we hope to extend to many more youth
organisations both in Mumbai and the rest of India.
