Our Program - Providing a safe house for street kids focusing on the following program areas:

1. Habitat/Hygiene: Kids are able to sleep in a clean, safe environment – with a strong focus on dental hygiene and basic health care (showering/soap/nails and toes clipped/shoes). Each child earns items (clothes & shoes) through a chore-based incentive program.

2. Faith: Church and bible study services are provided for the children. We do not turn children away based on their denominations, although we teach a Christian bible-based program.

3. Nutrition: Provide a meal in the afternoons (to compliment another program, providing a meal in the morning) and two meals on Saturday and Sunday.

4. Sports/Recreation: We focus on four sports: Soccer, Basketball, Running, and Judo. We try to hold practices, based around times that are most prominent for the children to be in the streets (early evening/night). The exercise is great for the health, provides self-esteem and goal-setting opportunities through merit, and combats street violence.

5. Community: Once the children reach a point of rehabilitation, we have them placed in community service activities to give back to their community.

6. Social Work: We do not raise other people’s children for them. We run a social work-based program, where we partner with the families of street children and help place them in jobs, and educate them on basic family skills and budgeting.
