The problem of child streestism has grown over the years to become a recognised global problem (UNICEF, 1987). That is to say it is not limited to only certain category of nations, but it is experienced in all nations or countries; especially, developing countries like Ghana (Kilbride, Suda & Njeru, 2000; Lugalla & Kibassa, 2003). Child Streetism refers to the situation in which children find refuge and their means of survival on streets (The Civil Society Forum Report, 2003). They survive by engaging in menial income generating activities such as selling water, begging, head portering and commercial sex during the day and often sleep in public places such as public wash rooms, bus stops, in front of shops and video centres during the night (The Civil Society Forum Report, 2003). The only support network for street children are other people on the streets(Gbeglo,2013). These have made street children a highly vulnerable group (Boakye-Boaten, 2008).
