Thousands of Street Children

Street children live in a sad life struggling for survival

       Honduras has a population of 7.3 million people, but almost half of the total population is sixteen years old or younger. There are approximately 8,000 street children in Honduras, and most of them live in the capital Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula, two largest cities in the county. These streets children are orphans or abandoned children, who had no choice but to live in the streets without families’ take care. These street children are abjectly poverty; they beg, steal and dig through trash during the daytime in order to survival, and sleep in junk boxes, parks or on the streets itself at night. Because of the stark poverty, the majority of these streets kids live no longer than eighteen years old.

"Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind...For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people...they will not toil in vain, or bear children doomed to misfortune...before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear." -Isaiah 65
