Shelter
is one of the Basic necessities for the venerable children
of Uganda in particular and the world in general. Street
children sleep outside in cold nights and hence fall sick.
Assisting them, we had to provide shelter and here
there is a five roomed house which is used for shelter. At
the moment boys are the only being sheltered and within few
months Girls will be catered for from the rooms that are
under construction.
We have also established the Drop-in-Center, this was
established in 1996 and it is where children come and get
most of KAYDA's available services.
Children
come everyday for these services; Counseling, Laundry &
Bathing, feeding, music, dance and drama rehearsals and also
meeting and chatting together. Generally this is their home.
Initially the kids were sleeping on the flour and sleeping
under plastic bags. After training them in carpentry, they
were able to construct beds were they now sleep. They have
also gone a distance to making beds for commercial purposes. |

Resettlement |
|
Children from street need to be
re-united with their parents, relative or communities where
they came from after the rehabilitation process. KAYDA has
enough experience in resettlements and a number of children
have been re-united with their parents or the communities.
We have resettled children almost all-over
