4 million children live on the street in India

Indian street children are homeless because their families are without shelter due to poverty and migration, because they have been abandoned or have run away from home. Some have a home, but drift into the street during the day. Many children have run away from home because they have been beaten and/or sexually abused. The same fate catches up with them on the streets.
