Main Objective

To rehabilitate street children and help provide them with dignified alternatives in life for a decent living through vocational training and self-employment creation. The GRONET will adopt street children and provide them with opportunities to make a meaningful living while adding value to the community and society at large.

Description

Nearly 10% of the entire global population are vulnerable children. Many countries through their local government have worked tirelessly to rid the streets homeless children who invariably a chief source insecurity and basically a scar in the conscience of the ruling class.
The case in Uganda is not different, it certainly headed the direction of countless street children who end up forming gangs and become urchins who basically run the streets. GRONET saw this blatant disregard and with it the need to look for ways to timely intervene the explosion of this time bomb. In spite of the many NGOs that aim at championing the rights of children, many of which operate in Uganda, not even a paltry 5% of the street children in greater Kampala have been able to access help.

The help from world leading agencies’ response has been relatively slow, hardly corresponding with the ever increasing needs. To be an effective in the global solutions one has link to children problems. The facility will serve as a place of refuge and home for deserving and deserted children for years to come. In this facility these children will be counseled, cleaned, fed, treated and given an opportunity to learn and train and course, have a family and be loved This will be an opportunity for them to realize their dreams.

This programme seeks to mobilize, counsel, feed, treat, educate and rehabilitate street children in the around the areas of greater Kampala in order to enable them build character, personality and equip themselves with skills they require to become useful citizens to themselves, the country and the whole world. The programme also seeks to carefully help these children to nurture responsible citizenship, good governance and embrace democratic principles through participatory leadership approach in which some of them will be groomed to lead them through a democratic selection process.
