Since the formation of societies individuals or group of people have been sought to reform mankind depressed or neglected due to any communal or social disruption. Preventive efforts were made to facilitate the mankind. In virtually every society people strive for better so that future generations may have a chance to exploit their talents. But in the countries where circumstances are unfavorable especially due to conflicts, corruption or crumbling political system, the most vulnerable are children. The inequalities they face by the adults due to their behavior are unimaginable in many ways. Children are vulnerable and they are the most deprived sector in any setting, urban or rural, listless in their existence especially those who have no access to easy or good side of life and are subject to cruel treatment

The term "street children" describes neglection, deprivation, lack of attention and unfavorable circumstances, wandering from one place to another in the peer groups. UNICEF defines street children in a different way: children who live and work on the streets because their families need money to survive, orphaned and/or abandoned. Their frustration and disappointment leads them to a state where they find comfort in glue sniffing, stealing or any sort of crime through which they could make- up for their requirements. They live in an environment detrimental to their vital signs. Their social or economic state compels them to involve in anti-social activities and they suffer critical diseases due to sexual and moral abuse and drugs. They are deprived directly or indirectly of the necessary and appropriate relationships with mainstream social institutions that traditionally provide sources of support and ensure an individual's well being and happiness in the society. The phenomenon of street children arose due to the economic and social problems as well as the epidemic spread of diseases and occurrences of natural disasters.
