§ Mrs. GillanTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what support is currently being given to help South American street children.
§ Mr. BaldryThe Overseas Development Agency has committed over £800,000 to projects with street children in Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. This assistance is largely channelled through UK non-governmental organisations such as Childhope, the International Children's Trust, CAFOD and Oxfam. British partnership schemes, run by our embassies in the region, provide additional support to local NGO projects.
