Most children end up in the street due to a variety of both pull and push factors ranging from poverty, war, lack of care from home, death of parents, violence at home, physical and mental abuse, economic growth, trafficking and loss of traditional values among others. Once they are on the street, life is hard; they are looked at as a nuisance and perpetrators of violence. Others resort to criminality to make ends meet.
Our team reaches out to them and invite them to a safe space from where we work hard to gain their trust, offer good counsel, another perspective to life, instill good morals and the need for hard work to make a decent living, enroll them in our life skilling program and upon completion, we facilitate a reintegration process back into their homes to live with family members or into the community, but as productive citizens.
Our efforts to transform the lives of these vulnerable young people and reintegrate them back home will remain a key focus and to this end, we also work with the families or willing community members to build their capacity to enable them to effectively support these children and youths
