Who’s in charge here?
Somewhere between these organisations, the idea of a street child world cup was born. They form the core of a network of generally small, always fantastic organisations who are all committed to making street children’s rights a reality.
o The Consortium for Street Children
o Global Goals
o Khalsa Football Academy
In South Africa, the Street Child World Cup will be hosted by Umthombo Street Children and the Durban University of Technology.
Some of the top street child organisations are involved to put together our rosta of teams:
We’ll be blogging as we rush around trying to organise the first ever street child world cup.
There have already been some pretty lofty highs, there will almost certainly be some pretty low lows.
Keep in touch.

A huge slap on the back to everyone involved in putting this together. It’s so exciting hearing how it’s all falling into place-
keep up the good work.

Great idea. I wanna support this, have just spent a period in SA and have done recordings and a collaborative music event on April 18th with a similar idea to get children seen and heard in a light that gets them noticed as children and people. Can musicians and artists support this event? For sure! I set up a networking group to inspire and encourage musicians and other artists to do socially relevant projects – if that’s you join Sympathetic Vibrations on Facebook.
Let’s get music makers out on the streets for this one. (ps that’s everyone!)
