Railway Children fight for vulnerable children who live alone and at risk on the streets of India, East Africa and the UK, where they suffer abuse and exploitation. They find themselves living on the streets, after fleeing violence, poverty and neglect at home, because there is nowhere else to go and no one to turn to. But often the problems they face there are far worse than those endured at home.

11 year old Elnest took to the streets, as there was no one at home to look after him, his father was dead and his mother was often in hospital with his desperately sick baby brother.

Elnest made the streets his home until rescue worker Joram found him and saved him from the dangers of the streets. Joram gained Elnest鈥檚 trust and worked tirelessly with him to address the issues that led him to run away and his traumatic experiences on the streets.

Elnest has been reunited with his family and their future looks brighter, Railway Children helped his mum to set up a business and got him back to school. Elnest recently gained an apprenticeship as a mechanic.
