Our Goal:To reduce the number of children living their lives on the street of Sierra Leone, the poorest country in the world |
|
|
Showing them love and care by tending to their nutritional, health, recreational, educational and psycho-social needs. Re-building trust in adults. Reconciling the children with their families and communities or settling them in alternative loving environments. Empowering families to care for their children in the long-term.
Addressing the factors, the 'push'-factors that result in children fleeing their homes or being driven away to the street. Promoting community appreciation of children's inherent dignity and needs - their rights. Assisting families and communities in developing their socio-economic capacities to meet their children's rights.
