Scope of our work
At the most basic and urgent level are children at risk. This is where we began work. We run Homes for children at risk of abuse within their homes, children on the street, and orphans. These children wander around the city begging and working for measly sums of money to satisfy their hunger and their parents’ hunger who are often alcoholics and drug addicts. On the streets, they are vulnerable to all kinds of abuse and grave physical dangers.
In our Homes, these children receive protection, are cared for with food, healthcare, clothing and a good education.
We meet families and children where they are, offering practical support and a route towards safety, education and independence.
Education gives children the knowledge, confidence and opportunities to shape their own futures.
We stand up for children’s rights and work alongside communities to build lasting change.
