Forum on Street Children-Ethiopia (FSCE)
PO Box 9562

Ethiopia
Tel 251 (1) 652669
Fax 251 (1) 654684
In trying to combat Ethiopia's street children epidemic, FSCE has developed a diverse set of programs, including regular orientation programs directed for the police. The purpose of this is to cause attitudinal changes among the police pertaining to street children who are wrongly understood by society in general and the police in particular. Once children are onto the streets they are branded by society as "hopeless cases, vandals, uncultured, etc." Many people don't seem to take the hardship of questioning why these children are out on the street with little or no family control? What the pull and push factors are? What corrective measures are required? What they could contribute to mitigate this growing urban social phenomenon?

Hope and Homes for Children is a charity dedicated to providing homes for children orphaned by war. Colonel Mark Cook is the former commander of the British Contingent of the U.N. Protection Force in Croatia. In 1992, in a small town called Lipik (Croatia) he made a promise to the orphans that he would rebuild their home which had been completely destroyed by the Serbs. After first retiring from the armed forces, and with the support of many kind, caring people from around the world, Mark and his wife Caroline founded Hope and Homes for Children, raised over £ 1 million and rebuilt a multi-ethnic home for 80 children in Lipik.
