Our project transforms nearly 238 street kids into valuable members of society in education sponsorship through provision of formal education and vocational training opportunities as well as job orientation for about 250 students reintegrated in families before August 2020.We as EDD, will empower youth and children in order to sustain themselves and their families as well as eradicating root cause that push kids to join street life.

Challenge

In Rwanda many families continue live in poverty,over 2 decades ago after the horrific genocide that took place in 1994. The genocide left millions of people traumatised and several parents were unable to cope. Aside from orphans, children run to the streets to escape poverty at home, domestic violence, abuse and in search of a better future and more independent life. Conditions on the street are harsh and children face violence, hunger and often turn to drugs as an escape from their reality.

Long-Term Impact

Educating a former street children not only to help them access to one of the child basic right every child deserve but it is also to produce the appropriate problem solver to the current generational root problems that push children to abandon their homes and go to live in street life or homelessness life.
