This monograph details the invaluable role NGOs, FBOs, CBOs and other stakeholders are playing in helping street children and their families. This Monograph has five parts. The first part focuses on the background of Streetism; the second reviews literature on Streetism; the third part details a coherent account of how information about Streetism in Lusaka was obtained; the fourth part provides an analysis of streetism; and finally, the conclusion and recommendation constitutes the last fifth part. This is a-must read by all researchers, teachers, clergymen, community leaders and social activists. Reading this book is a surest way of finding a solution to streetism that has plagued our societies today.
