Streetwork is an internationally recognized social support methodology.
Its main purpose is to empower and protect vulnerable social groups without a permanent house, enhancing their ability to protect themselves.

Social Streetwork focuses on street-dwelling populations facing extremely adverse living conditions while experiencing multiple forms of exclusion.

Emfasis Foundation’s Social Streetworkers are usually seen as the latest communication channel between the social network and excluded groups, as they are the ones who, daily with their presence, demonstrate their genuine interest and, through their active listening, record the needs of the people they reach.

Social Streetwork seeks to give its beneficiaries the primary role in developing the relationship built on the principles of trust and encouragement. In other words, they decide what, how and when.

With our support and guidance, we set as our ultimate goal their access to basic human rights to housing, work and care, the restoration of their dignity and self-confidence, by improving their overall quality of life.

Social Streetworkers approach marginalized social groups with tolerance and without prejudice.
