Street children taste World Cup glory at Lord's

Street children from across the world came together for their own international cricket tournament.

It's called the Street Child Cricket World Cup and it is is using the power of cricket to raise awareness and tackle the widespread stigma faced by street-connected children.

Some of the children at the event didn鈥檛 have birth certificates or passports just a few months ago.

Their aim is to inspire countries, governments and communities to better protect, respect and support street-connected children worldwide.

Isabelle Westbury has been along to the event for Stumped.
