The Street is Not a Home

The Children Behind the Brands

The Children Behind the Brands provides insight into the lives of children surviving on the streets of Dhaka by selling water and collecting discarded plastic bottles.

It highlights how this invisible child labour plays a pivotal role in the multi-billion-pound global recycled-plastics economy and questions why neither major brands, nor consumers, nor recycling advocates, nor international labour organisations acknowledge it.

The Street is Not a Home

Two of our trustees have written and illustrated a book that has been published by Bok Bok books. It is for children aged nine plus and contains four fictional stories about children who survived on the streets of Dhaka. The stories are based on 18 real case studies.

The book is for children who want to find out more about real places and real people whose experiences are very different from their own. It was created with children who use projects run by Street Children LEEDO in Dhaka

The author and illustrator are not taking royalties from the sale of the book and the publisher is not making a profit. All proceeds from selling the book, after production costs, will be donated to Friends of Street Children Bangladesh to support work with children in Dhaka.

The cost of the book is £20 including postage and packing

We hope that you will support this project so that we can all make a real difference to the way in which children on the streets are understood and help to provide some of the children with a better future.
