Street Children Paragraph

 

Street Children

The children who live in the street are called street children. They have to live under the open sky. They pass their nights on the footpaths, railway stations, bus stands and launch ghats. The street is their home. So they are called street children. They move from one place to another place around the city in search of livelihood. They earn their livelihood by working hard. They have to carry loads, break bricks, sell flowers. They are treated harshly. Most of them are forsaken by their parents. They are deprived of parental affection, care, and security. They are also deprived of education, healthcare and nutrition etc. When they gradually grow up, they get themselves involved into illegal activities. The street children have no parents to maintain their expenditure. Finding no other alternative, they take shelter on the streets. These children are deprived of basic rights of a citizen. They cannot eat a square meal, let alone medical treatment. Thus, they remain underprivileged. In fact, they are a burden of the society and of the government. Therefore, it is our duty to rehabilitate them. We can rehabilitate them by collecting and sheltering them into orphanages, by giving them vocational training and elementary education, by giving them small loans and by managing them self-employment.
