Children on the streets suffer a myriad of consequences for being abandoned and neglected. Aside from being highly at-risk for sexual abuse, they also suffer the lack of good nutrition and proper hygiene. Most of them who are in rehabilitation centers have scabies all over, and suffer from tuberculosis. They are also malnourished and small for their age.

As their life on the streets is focused on survival, streetchildren also don’t get the education they need. Most of them could not read nor write.

It is this disheartening situation that Stairway seeks to address. The organization offers a unique and creative program in natural and pristine surroundings that gives children at risk the opportunities to enable them to grow and develop to their fullest capacities and capabilities.
