Mother Teresa of Calcutta
I choose the poverty of our poor people. But I am grateful to receive (the Nobel) in the name of the hungry, the naked, the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the lepers, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared-for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone. (Accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, 1979 )

Help street children with
The Consortium for Street Children
The Consortium for Street Children is the only
worldwide network that works collectively to help street children on a
global scale. We mobilise our passions, values, beliefs and resources to
coordinate and support committed individuals, groups and organisations in
the interest of street children. We especially dedicate our efforts to
strengthening emerging civil society, state and market partnerships that
respond to the needs of marginalised communities, such as urban slums where
many street children originate. Through good stewardship we deliver
efficient and responsive programmes that help build a global community in
which the rights of street children are promoted and protected.
