Street Children's Day is observed in Austria every January 31. This day was initiated by the Austrian non-profit organization Jugend Eine Welt in 2009 to address the widespread social issue of street children globally. It highlights the plight of an estimated 100 million children living on urban streets, particularly in economically unstable and developing countries. On this day, Jugend Eine Welt distributes special materials to schools, encouraging campaigns to support street children. Additionally, religious campaigns are organized by the Salesians of Don Bosco and Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco, with funds raised being directed towards aiding street children worldwide. The observance aims to bring attention to the harsh realities faced by these children, who often engage in activities like shoe cleaning and selling sweets for survival.
