Street Child Welfare Implemented by OSPAD 

The most painful hardships in the period of statelessness were inflected on the Somali children who missed all the necessary human care and support that every child had a right to. They became neglected or victims of all violations that took place in the country. They did not unfortunately get any primary care and support including feeding, health, and protection support and so on. This had directed them to be street children, shoe shiners, garbage collectors, victims of severe exploitations, glue snifters or snatchers. In this way they became an intolerable burden on their societies. They also suffer at the hands of cruel members of the society receiving unbearable treatment from them such as killing, rape, robbery, exploitation, torturing and so on.

OSPAD, having seen the plight of the Somali children in its operation areas, had realized that it was awfully important to act quickly to intervene this tragedy and swiftly implemented street child care program that was composed of feeding, education and health support service including documentation and advocacy.                                                                     

And from that point OSPAD has collected more than one hundred street children from the Mogadishu public streets and commenced the provision of the services. How ever that program becomes relevant regarding the situation of the above type of Somali children. 
Although the financial capacity of OSPAD to that humanitarian intervention was limited it is coping a lot about the care and support in benefiting these children. 

And OSPAD is very happy with the continuation of this street child care program which so far resulted in positive result as many neglected children in the street now have care program like feeding, education, and some sorts of health service whilst many of them have been referred to their original families after rehabilitation and now live normal lives with their parents.
