Street to School
Aviva Street to School supports Internation Day for Street Children 12 April
Street to School is about championing the needs of street children around the world. We recognise that every child living on, working on or connected to the street has the right to fulfil their potential.
Since 2009 we have formed 23 charity partnerships and helped more than 400,000 children. In 2011 our employees dedicated 30,000 volunteering hours to projects.
With the Consortium for Street Children (CSC) we are raising awareness of the issues street children face around the world. Last year Aviva helped CSC launch the first ever International Day for Street Children on 12 April. Aviva employees across the world joined in celebrations with street children and 60 global members of the Consortium for Street Children.
Andrew Moss, group chief executive speaks to Charlotte Murray, Street to School consultant on International Day for Street Children and Aviva's Street to School Programme.
