Faced with the realities of poverty and hopelessness, children and youth who live and work on the streets often engage in criminal activities as a last resort for survival. Hashtag Gulu runs specific life and and employable skills trainings in carpentry and joinery; hairdressing; tailoring and garment cutting; bricklaying and concrete practice and agriculture as well as mentorship to prepare them for reentry into the community and to enjoy a better and improved livelihood. We also offer linkages to available opportunities such as apprenticeship and eventual employment, working in cooperatives for collective gain.
