Working with Street Children Exploring Ways for ADB Assistance
Asian Development Bank | October 2002
Abstract
In the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) developing member countries, children under 14 years old make up 30% of the population. Without proper protection this vulnerable group can suffer undernourishment, poor health, and intellectual underdevelopment, which can have lasting impacts on young peoples’ ability to participate fully in their communities and the broader economy. Investing in their protection has profound implications for the development of the region.1 ADB is committed to assisting its member countries implement social development programs that put people first and empower the weaker groups in society to gain access to assets and opportunities.2 While all children deserve this access, one group requires special attention—the growing number of young people living or working on the streets of Asian towns and cities.
