Street Child United Advisory Council
2016 - 2018
Advised on hosting the 2018 Street Child World Cup in Moscow, Russia. Helped with Sponsors and relevant introductions. Next Projects - Street Child Cricket World Cup, 2019 in London. Street Child Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar. About SCU: There are millions of children surviving on the streets worldwide. Life on the streets for these children is filled with danger. Instead of receiving support, they are often blamed for their situation and stigmatised. As a result, they face violence and abuse. Although they are vulnerable, they are also resourceful and resilient – but are denied the opportunities they need to realise their potential. Our goal is to change this through the power of Sport. www.streetchildunited.org
