The social workers identify children working or living on the street, and help them return home.<\/p>\n<p>They also work with the family to help the children go back to school. With Street Child\u2019s support and an educational grant children can return to school immediately and then work with the family to set up a sustainable business so that the family can stay in their local area. Families receive an initial start-up grant for the business and are given training and financial advice by Street Child&#8217;s business officers.<\/p>\n<p>The families are encouraged to save money in an incentivised saving scheme to provide for their children\u2019s education long-term. Over 85% of businesses started by Street Child beneficiaries are still profitable after two years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_696\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-696\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/glasgow-city\/files\/2018\/02\/Isla-and-President-Madeleine_compressed.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-696\" src=\"\/glasgow-city\/files\/2018\/02\/Isla-and-President-Madeleine_compressed-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/glasgow-city\/files\/2018\/02\/Isla-and-President-Madeleine_compressed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/glasgow-city\/files\/2018\/02\/Isla-and-President-Madeleine_compressed.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Madeleine and Isla.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At our February 7th meeting, the members heard from Isla, who volunteers with Street Child,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":460,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,6,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events-and-activities","category-news","category-programme-action"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>February Club meeting featuring the charity &#039;Street Child&#039; | News | Blog | Events | SI Glasgow City<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Glasgow City : Blog &amp; News : February Club meeting featuring the charity &#039;Street Child&#039; : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Glasgow City .
