In a world where countless children live and work on the streets, far removed from the joys of learning and play, life becomes a relentless struggle for survival. The UN estimates that up to 150 million children live on the streets. Is that not absurd? But what can we do? In my conversation with Precious, the founder of True Identity in Nigeria, she insists that love is the key to empowering children. Instead of nurturing opportunities, the days of these young children is defined by street hawking, exploitation, and vulnerability. But amidst this harsh reality, hope emerges—a movement fueled by education, advocacy, and love.
