TEAM WORK AT HOUSE....
Its great joy when the boys do house work together and learn from each other.
This makes the program of resettlement since the boys learn how to do house work and assocaite with others which many parents want their children to have.

Thank youfor your prayers.

    The story of Samuel.

Samuel is a humble boy, who socializes with the other boys at the house. Samuel is 12 years old and currently he is living in the Mercy Alive Shelter.
Samuel was raised by his Grandmother in Kira after his Mother died. Samuel ran away from home with a hope of finding a job of selling eggs in Kampala because his grandmother could not provide for him and his brother Enock. Samuel was on the streets for a couple of months and we got to find Samuel during the police raids. The police usually does raids and arrests many street children. We managed to visit Samuel’s grandmother after we got Samuel from the police station.
Samuel’s grandmother tries to support his grandkids by selling tomatoes and onions which can only provide lunch or dinner depending on which meal they chose to eat. They can hardly sustain a single meal in a day let alone afford other basic needs. Because of that, we decided to take Samuel to the Mercy Alive shelter, that way his Grandmother stays with his Enock.
Samuel had stopped to study since his grandmother could not afford the school fees and we are happy that next week, Samuel will be doing a school interview and he will start school in a month. Currently he is living under Mercy Alive shelter.
His favourite subject is social studies and he wants to become a mechanic. Samuel believes. that fixing is a good way to bring things back to life. He loves playing football,

THANKFUL TO GOD AND PROUD OF BENJAMIN.

 Benjamin just like other boys, we met him during our Night outreaches and he had left home because of mistreatment.
After a few weeks of staying with him at the house and counselling him.
we resettled him back with his Father(Family). The Police together with our team helped in talking to Benjamin's Father who accepted to take Benjamin back to school.
We are very proud to say that Benjamin did well his final National examinations and he... managed to get a first grade.

we believe they are many boys who can do it as Benjamin as done and hope we can do our best to reach out to more street children.
We thank you all so much for your prayers.

 

 

 

Every street child we meet has a story to tell. Many of the street children sleep during the time of outreaches because at Night they do not get to sleep since they have to run away all time from the people who tend to hurt them at Night.

They sleep during programs because they feel safe because volunteers are always there to offer them protection and listen to them.

 

 

 

Many of them do not get meals daily and only have a plate of food during programs.

we are doing the best we can to the feed the children and we hope we can do.

 

Many of the boys collect empty bottles and scrap. This is commonly the simple work they do to have a meal while on the streets.

NIGHT OUTREACH

NIGHT OUTREACH.
We thank God for his protection and guidance. Towards the end of December we did a night outreach. During a night Outreach, we usually meet the street kids ,talk to them, listen to them, pray with them and find the best means of resettling the ones who need to be resettled.
During this Outreach, we managed to meet many boys although we only could speak to few of them who were not under the influence of drugs. Many of the boys were high and could not settle in one place. Many boys use avaition fuel,marijuana,Alcohol,Cigarattes and kuba.When they are under the influence of any of those drugs.They are very hard to maintain and they can not listen.
There is a rapid increase in the number of the street children which means there is increased violence, mistreatment of the children by either their parents or families,death of parents among others.
During this night outreach, the boys were fighting each other using stones. That is they were throwing stones which is dangerous since it results into accidents.
The main challenge for the boys is the Police raids which are usually done in the night by the police.
we couldnt take so many pictures because of the dangers that were there that nightalthough we managed to take a few pictures.

We kindly ask you to say prayers for the street children and for resettlements to be successful that way the number of the street children can be reduced.
Thank you.
