Street Kids
Rehabilitation Association
was founded in İstanbul, Turkey in 1998. It is a non-profit independent
organisation dedicated to reaching the street children – children and
youth in need of special attention and protection by meeting their
physical, educational, and emotional needs. We treat them to become
contributing members of their society and empower them with qualities
and skills fit for building their own lives.
Information sharing and research, training and development, national and
international networking, advocacy and capacity building and government,
media relations are among our program areas.
In the year 2003, our Association successfully completed a project
titled
Situation Analysis
of Children in Need of Special Protection
in Turkey which was financially supported by UNICEF.
Our director Prof. Dr. Oğuz Polat is performing a radio program called
“Kids Have Rights” at Açık Radyo (Open Radio) which already reached its
100th program.
Our Association is also one of the founding and active member of Kids
Have Rights Coalition and “0-18 If Hit, Breaks” Citizens for
Child Rights Platform working on all kinds of child issues.
