摘要：This paper aimed to identify factors that affect homelessness in Khartoum State. It is found that most of the street children were born in this State but the origins of the majority of them are the western and southern Sudan. A striking fact is that the overwhelming majority of homeless children attended basic education. They are missing their families and have strong desire to return home. Factor analysis was used and showed that there are seven factors which could be labeled city life, risky behavior, economic reasons, natural and environmental, family disruption, observation, and family abuse. It is recommended to locate perspective programs in areas where most street children families live in at present; intervening at home to prevent children from coming to streets; reduce school fees; create opportunities to increase income of vulnerable families specially those affected by war and drought; build trust with street children to convince them return home; provide safe night shelters for street children to protect them; help addicted children to overcome their addiction; reform and improve legislations and laws to protect children.
