Micro-Enterprise Credit for Street Youth
Introduction
Although small-scale business training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world, relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to youth living on the street or in difficult circumstances. Over the past years, Street Kids International (S.K.I.) has been working with partner organizations in Africa, Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children. The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons S.K. I. and our partner organizations have learned.
Background
Typically, children end up on the streets not due to a single cause, but a combination of factors: the lack of adequately funded schools, the demand for income at home and so on. The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money. However, it is also a place where some children are exposed, with little or no protection, to exploitative employment, and urban crime.
Street Business Partnerships
S.K.I. has worked with partner organizations in Latin America, Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street children to earn income.
● The S.K.I Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan. Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles, which they used to deliver parcels and messages, but they were required to pay for it gradually from their wages.
● The Youth Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society. Street Youths are supported to start their own small business through business training, life skills training and access to credit.
Lessons Learned
The following lessons have emerged from the programs that S.K.I. and partner organizations have created.
● It’s important for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic business and life skills.
● Small loans are provided initially for purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles, shoe shining kits.
● All S.K.I. programs have charged interest on the loans, primarily to get the business runners used to the concept of paying interest on borrowing money. Generally the rates have been modest.
Conclusion
There is a need to recognize the importance of access to credit for poor young people seeking to fulfill economic needs.

I decided to sail at Swell City, a favorite outpost on the Washington side of the Columbia. That July to be one of the windiest months on record. I grew to find that what I was doing did for my standing in the world. It won me no friends.Then again, I was .
One day, a friend and her l5-year-old son came, and after I explained my , he said the simplest but most profound thing: “It’s all in the . ” This kid had windsurfed only three times , he knew the secret. “If you go out there knowing you’re going to it, you will, ”he continued. “But if you go out there afraid you’ll get hurt , you will. ” I smiled at him. Wasn’t that the same problem I’d encountered in life? I’d always been terrified l wouldn’t reach the goal or the job. I knew I had to let that fear go. And slowly I did.
The wind wanted nothing from me. It cared not at all about my ambition or accomplishments. It me that the beauty of life is in the trying. And that’s where I am: still trying for the turnaround in life and in the .
