An estimated 3,000-4,000 children live on the streets of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Living in sewers, they are known as "sewer kids". Many of these children left their poor rural homes because of family violence and abuse.
64 % are aged between 9 and 14.
Children forage through rubbish, polish shoes, and act as porters, beg or steal, and act as gravediggers just to stay alive.
They fight for territory, suffer servitude by homeless adults, sell their bodies -- or face the danger of being kidnapped by child traffickers.
The government lacks the resources to take care of these children.
There are 22 care centers/shelters for street children in Ulaanbaatar, accommodating 800 children as of 2002. The rest of the homeless children are unattended without the care of anyone.
These street children have
No Food
No Home
No Education
But they have HOPE to live someday like a regular person, attend school and have a job.
