Child Rescue Kenya works with families and local authorities to support children living and working on the streets. We help them to return home, working with families or foster families to ensure successful reintegration and to secure safe and caring futures. Interventions such as our Street Smart social workers outreach and our fun and interactive mobile school allow us to meet and develop bonds with children from difficult and impoverished home situations.
Challenge
Every month many children arrive in Kitale to begin a life on the streets. They are vulnerable to the risks of being part of a street community, where the toughest only, survive. Drugs, poor diet and abuse can erode the child's physical and mental health. The child is at risk of becoming just another statistic. Life expectancy on the street is just 16 years* CRK finds these children, often within hours of arriving, and offers them a 'safe haven'; a choice *Source 'The Daily Nation.
Long-Term Impact
Away from marginal lives on the streets, the children develop into caring adults with the life and academic skills required to break the cycle of abject poverty and positively contribute to their society. They can be voices for a new generation of children, seeking change and demanding justice. Children we have helped now attend prestigious schools and universities, some have graduated to viable futures as nurses, laboratory technicians, mechanics, hairdressers, electricians and carpenters.
