Our Goals

To fulfil our mission, StreetInvest has identified seven key Goals aimed at realising the potential and rights of street children.

1. More Workers:                    

To increase the number of Street Workers by means of:

  • Raising awareness of the role and effectiveness of street workers and supporting local communities and agencies in the same
  • Raising funds to support the continued, long-term employment of street workers where resources are not available locally
  • Assisting local agencies and communities to raise funds on their own behalf

2. Better Equipped:

To best equip these Street Workers most effectively by:

  • Ensuring that the Street Workers are all offered StreetInvest's Core Training
  • Supplementing this with the availability of appropriate further training delivered by StreetInvest and/or our training partners
  • Raising funds for the investments requested to respond to the needs of street children  

3. Properly Respected:

Support Street Workers in gaining proper recognition and respect for their work both within their organisations and the communities by:

  • Gaining further UK academic accreditation for StreetInvest's training
  • Offering this as a basis for a fully recognised local Street Work Diploma  

4. Locally Led:

To devolve leadership and development of Street Worker Training and related investments to the local communities, agencies and children we support by:

  • Training trainers who are empowered and equipped to roll out the training locally
  • Establishing a network for these trained trainers and street workers

5. Fully Informed:

To be informed in all we do through:

  • Needs assessments, baseline research and other studies
  • Local research, including Head Counting, during and after projects
  • Monitoring & Evaluation, including the continuation of Ulster University independent evaluation

6. Influential:

To ensure that both StreetInvest, and those we work with, have sufficient influence to effect change to policy and practice that ensures better chances for street children in the long term

7. Strong:

To be financially and operationally strong and sustainable for the long term by:

  • Reducing training costs to a level that can be funded for the long term
  • Securing long-term, recurring funding
  • Being fully resourced to deliver StreetInvest's Goals
