20. “Children on the streets are those whose families support base has become increasingly weakened, (who) must share in the responsibility for family survival by working on the city streets and market places. - UNICEF Children of the street are a much smaller number of children who daily struggles for survival without family support, alone. While often called ‘abandoned’, they too might also have abandoned their families, tired of insecurity and rejection and aged up with violence…..(their) ties with home now have been broken…..de facto(they) are without families.” - UNICEF DEFINITIONS BY ORGANIZATIONS

22. A minute about Us The Don Bosco Navajeevan Society, started in June 1998 in twin cities of Hyderabad & Secunderabad for the welfare of street children and youth at risk. The Government of Andhra Pradesh, in May 2000 recognized Don Bosco Navajeevan as “Fit Institution” under Juvenile Act. DBNJ is now authorized to care for neglected juveniles. We have two shelters (Secunderabad & Nampally), a Home for School going children and a rehabilitation centre with facilities like care homes and a vocational training centre at Ramanthapur. In Don Bosco Navajeevan, so far 18,000 street children have benefited from personal contact, out of whom 6,400 have been persuaded to return home. More than 400 street children stay at Navajeevan centres where 200 of them are provided an opportunity to go to school and the rest are undergoing Vocation Training in our Technical School. Everyday they are provided three meals, medical care, cultural activities, counseling, career guidance, recreation and other needs.
