We challenge every form of development whose result is human inequality and discrimination of any kind. We inculcate human development models that impeach systemic pathways reducing access to social-economic opportunities for vulnerable youth, children and women. We resist programming, financing, budgeting and practices that generally exacerbate the state of homelessness and motivate hopelessness in Kenya. We know how difficult it is for someone without a place they call home, and sometimes without identity. The intersection of violence meted upon those considered homeless, often referred to as street-connected communities is extremely horrendous. Such communities suffer from stigma, poor health and illiteracy; besides they are pushed into drug and substance abuse, crime and other socially unaccepted income resilience mechanisms such as commercial sex. Lying in bed, with an option of switching on and off some light, is traumatizing, if at the back of one’s mind the thoughts linger of another resigned into uncomfortable cold pavements, under bridges, alleys and river banks besides the unspoken but accompanying insecurity. We are glad always when we get testimony that some of our target communities are now able to pay rent even if, such rent is paid for carton accommodation. It is one among the many steps towards emancipation from homelessness! Our streets cannot and should never be homes for our brothers and sisters.
Providing comprehensive support and resources to street children, focusing on their rehabilitation, education, and holistic development. Through collaboration with stakeholders, we aim to create a nurturing environment that enables these children to reintegrate into society and lead fulfilling lives, free from the challenges of street life.
A society that upholds justice and dignity of vulnerable children, youth, and families.
Homelessness and street connectedness stem from poverty, ineffective policies, and inadequate social systems. Marginalized groups face scarce opportunities and skewed services. These conditions force children to miss schooling, drive youth into drug abuse, and lead to family dysfunction, perpetuating street life.
Our goal is to promote the well-being of vulnerable children and youth while strengthening family resilience. Our efforts rescue and rehabilitate street dwellers while preventing at-risk households from falling into street life. We address missed schooling, youth drug abuse, and family dysfunction through socioeconomic support, capacity building, advocacy, and human rights protection. We implement comprehensive support systems, offer long-term follow-up programs, enhance family and community connections, foster collaboration and partnerships, and advocate for awareness and support. Through these combined efforts, we aim to create lasting positive impact, empowering vulnerable individuals and families to overcome challenges and thrive.
