The streets of Pakistan are home to an estimated 1.5 million children. These children spend their days and nights on the streets; scavenging, stalking, chasing cars and passersby in hope of some form of charity; at times, their only means of a livelihood.

Street children live in exceptionally difficult circumstances and are a highly vulnerable group. With no access to education, healthcare, food and adequate living conditions, these children are at high risk of abuse, discrimination and stigma.

Days, months, years go by, but their circumstances remain untouched. Here are the children of Pakistan that shouldn't be left on the streets.
