Education nonprofit operating in fragile states and emergency contexts
Street Child operates across sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, running education and child protection programs in remote and crisis-affected regions where school enrollment and learning outcomes lag furthest. The org is mid-sized (11–50 employees) but hiring rapidly across operations, finance, education, and fundraising—a scaling pattern typical of nonprofits moving from startup mode into sustained delivery and donor accountability. Stack is nonprofit-standard (Excel, Stata, Power BI, WordPress, Mailchimp), revealing reliance on manual data processes; active projects span curriculum delivery (Teaching at the Right Level, EAGLE early-learning framework), caregiver livelihood support, and meal systems—each designed to remove barriers to school attendance.

Street Child works with local partners to get marginalized children into school and learning, primarily in low-resource, fragile, and disaster-affected contexts across Africa and Asia. The organization's theory of change combines direct school and teacher support, child protection programming, and livelihood assistance for caregivers—removing both supply-side (infrastructure, teaching quality) and demand-side (poverty, safety) barriers to enrollment. Operations span nine countries, with hiring concentrated in Cameroon, DRC, Nigeria, and Central African Republic. The nonprofit operates on a cost-efficiency model, prioritizing replicable, low-overhead interventions designed to serve the most marginalized children.
Street Child has active programs and hiring across Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria, Central African Republic, Mozambique, and operates in the UK and Western Europe for fundraising and coordination.
