Street Angels is a Vancouver-based, volunteer-driven grassroots international aid organization. It helps impoverished women in the slums of Brazil keep their children off the streets, safe at home, healthy and in school. Our efforts are concentrated in Dona Aurora, a small shantytown on the outskirts of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil (Eastern South America, bordering the Atlantic Ocean).
Since 1988, Street Angels has been working to:
- Develop education and health care programs for children and their families
- Eliminate child labour by creating alternate sources of family income
- Strengthen marginalized communities and defend basic human rights
- Increase public awareness about the exploitation, abuse and murder of children who are forced by poverty to live and work in the streets
