The Here to Here World Tour has partnered with Street Kids International. Our goal is to tell the story of Street Kids International by motorcycling around the world and show that you can do challenging and incredible things, no matter what start you get in life. C.J. and Dylan were raised in a single parent household in low-income housing. Fortunately the basics were always covered; food, shelter, clothing were never an issue for the brothers. However, there were few opportunities for them to ‘get ahead’ except for what they created for themselves. We believe that Street Kids International is the perfect organization to help youth in poverty to help themselves overcome their circumstance and lead incredible, successful lives.

SANTOSH’S CRAFT SALESSantosh is a 19-year old Nepali who has been on the streets since he was 7. Santosh was part of the first group of Nepali youth to participate in the Street Business Toolkit. Prior to the Street Kids training, he had been learning to make handicrafts out of recycled paper. Since completing the Toolkit, Santosh has used the case studies he learned to strategize about how to market his crafts. He is now off the street, living in shared accommodations. He feels strongly that other youth need the chance provided by Street Kids International and so he gives 20% of his profit back to youth programs. “It’s my business strategy”, says Santosh. Street Kids International will keep track of Santosh and the other kids who have been through the Toolkit and watch the choices they continue to make about their future. |
