The authors examine the dynamics of urban life and street
children's health in the era of globalization and structural
adjustments in Tanzania. They discuss the factors that push
children out of their homes, how the children survive in streets,
the hardships and violence they endure and how this affects their
health. They argue that the impact of the legacy of colonial
policies and some post-colonial development policies, the negative
consequences of uncontrolled process of globalization, the impact
of structural adjustments and the HIV/AIDS epidemic are
simultaneously intensifying the situation of poverty in Tanzania.
These processes are not only destroying families and communities
that have for many years acted as safety nets for children in need,
but are also manufacturing poor, helpless and powerless children
most of whom resort to street life.
