- Children who spend their days on the street begging for food for the day because it is so poor at home. Returning to their homes in the evening to sleep.
- Children who have the street as their home - day and night. There they look for "food, community and a place to sleep." may have occasional contact with their families.
- Completely abandoned children. All ties to the family are severed. Often orphaned so they live entirely on their own.
