Through street outreach and partnerships with other organizations , we seek to serve children in extremely critical circumstances who have little or no external assistance. We work with local support teams that include church leaders, social workers and drop-in center staff to identify children in crisis and create a plan of action to remove them from street life. With each child we serve, a “home trace” is conducted to locate and establish contact with their closest living relatives. If a child can be reunited with his or her family that is always our preference. It is our desire to reconnect children to their families, so in every situation we strive to restore the family unit by involving and maintaining relationships with parents if and when possible. If the family is willing to care for the child but unable to do so for financial reasons, we may work with the family to provide the child with an academic scholarship. However, we recognize that home life is not always suitable for children, so we work hard to ensure that a child will be properly cared for before resettling them.
