In the past ten years, the story of street children was very popular among the cities of Malawi. A day could not pass without journalists making a statement in the radios and newspapers. This was to make sure that children should be given their rights and freedoms.

Nowadays, a lot of revolutions have taken place. Talk of vending along the streets is now forbidden. In such circumstance, children were becoming thieves at a tender age of which such children did not have the future. But as the situation was scrutinized meticulously, some of these problems were emanating form orphanage brought about by HIV/AIDS, traditional beliefs among other factors. Government & Non governmental Organizations did not shun away. Efforts were gathered to make such children reliable citizens. They were given different opportunities like sending them back to school, taking them into reformatory centers and the like. Although there are some few street children here and there but the situation has improved.

Only street children are recognised quickly hence they live in cities and towns. But as we can go deep down in our respective villages, will get a lot of kids vagabonding having nothing to do while their fellows are at school. This doesn’t mean that the kids don’t like to attend classes, but most of them lack basic needs like clothes, soap among other items. There are few individuals who can help but unfortunately, they also don’t have enough for their families. If some families are failing to afford salt, will they manage to pay school fees for their kids at secondary schools? Since primary school education is at no cost. Although there are measures taken to make sure that these children should be productive, but still there is a long way to go. If some people who feel pathetic and sympathize with such children and families can take the initiative of helping them. Especially for the children to realize their dreams they need to go to school. How can one be a president and yet in his/her life has never been in class?
