Mercy Alive Africa.

Its mercy alive Africa’s responsibility together with other organizations to mentor, guide and provide counseling to these street kids for a better conduct transformation. A 13 year old Ian Mutyaba one of the resident boys at mercy alive Africa has moved in with one of the families in Kivulu slums. Recently Ian's behaviors had changed to the worst! By moving out of the house and coming back at night without permission from the elders or even noticing his fellow resident friends, stealing money meant to purchase house requirements from the volunteer's  wallets

Ian was stealing because he used that money to buy food while in the slums on his escape routines, he had been attracted to start working by some street boys because he wanted to earn money they had also told him that he will not start school as promised by mercy Alive Africa staff, We are sure he believed this because he had spent three months waiting while at the house ( this is a minimal rehabilitation period for any street kid that is moved into the house, to observe his patience, conduct, willingness to study as efforts are being made to get him a sponsor).
Currently he has started living with Ismail's family a guy that runs a video game business as his attendant and promised to be paying him some money as salary, we had to agree because we respect these children's decisions and the community’s involvement in our work. However we will continue to monitor his conduct through our outreach programs in the slums.
Dear friends, we kindly ask you to pray for Mercy Alive Africa’s progress and Ian's well-being, hope that during his stay with this new family will improve his characters and escape the bad influence from the spoilt street boys, after one month we will be able to tell if his moving in with the new family has made some good impact on him.
Despite of this, one of the challenges is the influence and promises people make to these boys while on the streets and still when we move them into our shelter, so we find it very hard still since the people influencing them still go on to look for them and confuse their minds.
