A safe childhood for every child
Mission
To advocate for the rights of children living on the streets
Goals
To improve the living conditions for children living on the streets
To sponsor education for children living on the streets
To reintegrate children living on the streets to their families
Two times per week, we walk down to the slums of Kisenyi to reach out to known and unknown street children. Then we transport around 40 children to our center for programs. Our programs include:
To support our children with their poor hygiene our programs start with an opportunity to take a shower, brush teeth and wash and change clothes. Each child has their own kit of clothes, soap, and toothbrush.
Lessons
One dream most of our children have in common is the dream of going back to school. During our programs we focus on basic education that will help our children to stay active, learn useful knowledge, and to get used to the school environment. We have life skill lessons with all kind of important topics from critical thinking to drug abuse. We also teach basics in english and bible studies.
Counseling
Our children have experienced things children should never go through. Rejection by family, social exclusion by the society, trauma, violence and abuse are their reality and our work is to give these children the support they need to cope and get trough their experiences. We do this through group sessions as well as on on one sessions.
Children are full of talent and energy. Our goal is to encourage their interests through different activities such as dancing, singing, sports and art&craft. For once, they get to be children and just have fun.
Healthcare
Due to incredibly unsanitary living conditions our children face various illnesses on a daily basis. The smallest wound can turn in to a big infection due to the living circumstances these children are forced to live under. Therefore, our most important work concerns health care where all our staff members are trained in first aid. When our children are ill we provide proper care through a nearby clinic.
Food
The poor living conditions our children live under force them to eat leftovers, dirty food or even no food at all at times. The food we give them during our programs might be the only proper meal they get through the week. Therefore, we give them two meals per program and make sure to give a nutritious meal of rice, meat, cabbage, fruit and plenty of water.
