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!
