The Youth Overhauled project

 1.  Name of Project: Education for the street child project.

 2.  Brief one-sentence description of project: This project looks at ways how Information technology can be effectively applied in solving community problems.

3.      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.
