Full description of project:
In
this project, students from Uganda would like to learn through the
Internet media with other students about the street children problem
in an in depth analysis. Students and participants will be required
to interact on various topics, which will be emailed or published on
the project forum. They will then be required to tackle them,
research and post their findings to the to the project coordinator
or the forum. Students in Uganda are of a view that street children
ought to get access to the rights that are stipulated in the
children’ statute and the right to education being the most crucial.
It opens the doors to a prosperous tomorrow. Under this topic we
shall base most on the provision of vocational training to the
former street children. We would like to air out our views through
this project, construct a vocational institution for the street
kids.
This is the core of this project. Through this
campaign, we hope to raise funds to set up a resource center in
Kampala where street children from other organizations dealing with
former street children like "The Friends Of Children association
(FOCA"), The Reverend Kepha Ssempangi Foundation, The Tiger's club
among others can drop them in for training in IT, Computer Repair,
packages and other related fields. We hereby call upon all
interested people, individuals, parents, partners, schools, students
and organizations to work hand in hand with us in this struggle.
Your participation can surely make a positive impact however little
you think it may be. Whichever day that goes by, their numbers
culminate. Also under the education, would like to set up a peer
education programme and counseling. We shall be visiting the street
children affiliated to other organizations and those who will still
be on the streets, giving them knowledge about health, life skills
and reassurance.
