Railway Children exists to provide relief and support to children and young people who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress and in particular to those living on the streets. For these children, the streets are often the only means of support available but also where they suffer abuse and exploitation. Since its inception in 1995, Railway Children has helped many thousands of children and young people living alone and at risk on the streets.
