This is what they do all day long in order to get food, and drugs to keep them sane in the streets.

One South Sudanese female singer, Tutu Baibe has registered a foundation to help street kids across South Sudan.
Tutu Foundation was put up for the street boys in order to rescue and rehabilitate them.
“Tutu foundation is non-profit, non-governmental organization that cares for the uncared children in the Republic of South Sudan,” Tutu Baibe told HIJ reporter.
The foundation is planning to take to school around 100 students who are also followed up on after re-integration.
The next time you meet a street child, think about what you can do to ease their burden and the beauty of helping such a child reform to a better person in the world.
