Programme Description
The objective of the project is to provide care and developmental activities for 100 vulnerable children in 5 care facilities by March 2019. The escalating increase in the number of vulnerable children due to emotional, physical and substance abuse makes the contribution to their human development a priority. Children are subject to warzone, public, domestic and gender based violence. Children are exposed to HIV/AIDS through rape, sexual abuse and sexual exploitation in the form of prostitution and pornography production. Vulnerable children lack the guidance and support required to become adults who are mentally and emotionally competent and confident. Vulnerable children revert to living as street children residing in city centres begging for money, prostituting themselves, crime and are victims of human trafficking. The absence of proper programmes and interventions will result in them becoming victims and victimizers later in life. We have a responsibility to restore the moral fibre of our society and communities, thereby ensuring sustainable living. Spiritual poverty needs to be addressed alongside material poverty, specifically with the children who is our future leaders..
Poor academic performance in schools by these children is due to issues outside of school. Lack of parent involvement, disability, nutrition, access to School required resources are barriers for learning and development. We will provide alternative means of education for the vulnerable children
