Long road to solving problem of street children: Minister

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Wed, April 18 2012, 10:10 PM

Social Affairs Minister Salim Segaf Al Jufri has admitted keeping children off the streets is not an easy task, eliminating his previous ambitious target of having no street children by 2014.

"The Social Affairs Ministry only has enough funds to deal with 10-20 thousand street-children cases each year. It could take 20 years to deal with every single case," he said Wednesday as quoted by Antara.

"If we could get help from civil society groups and other partners, we could wrap up [our programs] in four years [from now]," said Salim.

These comments were in stark contrast to a recent statement the minister made on April 7, 2011: "Hopefully, we will have no more street children by 2014."

It is estimated that there are currently 230,000 street children in Indonesia.

The government provides street children every year with Rp 1.5 million (US$163) each for school-related needs, in addition to the Kuwait International Charities' donations worth $170 per child for 1,000 Indonesian children annually.

Jakarta. Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Minister Linda Amalia Sari said on Tuesday that she was optimistic Indonesia would no longer have children living on the streets by 2014.

Linda made the comment after attending a ceremony marking an agreement between seven government ministries and the National Police to improve street children's welfare.
 
Linda said freeing Indonesia's 230,000 street children from poverty was not an easy task but by reimplementing certain strategic programs she was optimistic it could be accomplished.

Furthermore, she said, her ministry would intensively cooperate with other related ministries and non-governmental organizations in implementing the programs to tackle the problem of children living on the streets.

"My ministry will make the public aware of and promote children's rights, and encourage the public to play an active role in the care of children," Linda said.
