Child resettlement is where a child is successfully re-united with existing family members or close relatives. We believe that child resettlement is the best option for a child rescued from the street. We work to trace the child’s family and talk with relatives to find out the child’s reasons for leaving home.

Our street outreach enables us to build relationships with the children and understand their stories. It helps us to identify children who are willing to leave street life behind. Home tracing is important as it allows us to talk with parents and ensure the home is safe for the child to return to. If the home isn’t suitable (due to abuse or other serious issues) we look for a close relative, aunt, uncle or grandparent who would be willing to take the child in.

After resettlement, we continue to monitor the child’s progress in school and at home through home visits by our social worker. We often support the child at school through our child sponsorship program if parents are unable to afford school fees. We aim to empower families living in poverty through small business development where possible.

Our aim is to buy land and run a farm where we can invest into the local community by teaching farming methods to both the children and their families to encourage them to start small businesses at home to provide for their families. We believe in a long term commitment towards the children we rescue and their families to ensure that no child has to return to the street and that families are strengthened and poverty cycles are broken.
