KAYDA has developed
several initiatives to support homeless, abandoned and orphaned
youth/children that spend most of their time on the streets. The
organization has established a Drop in Centre, which comprises of
five rooms, a carpentry workshop and other two projects for poultry,
and Barbershop. The centre has 35 children who regularly drop in and
are undergoing behavior change. They get all the basic requirements
from the centre. Children under 10 years are fostered with KAYDA
Members and if possible reunited back with their families. Since its
initiation in 1995, the organization has re integrated more than 120
children back to their families and others live independently. We
appreciate the support from Kinderen in de Knel which assisted in
supporting a number of children for the last 16 months. The support
has been used In the education, resettlement, administration,
allowance and uplift of the Drop in Centre. KAYDA
is worried of the day to day activities of the youths/children.
These youths are redundant such that they survive by begging,
prostitution, pick pocketing and resort to drug and substance abuse.
The organization started a Music, Dance and Drama project THE KAYDA
CULTURAL TROUPE, which is composed of these vulnerable
children/youths. It is engaged in performing various traditional and
cultural Music and Dances from all parts of the country using
traditional instruments. |
