The problem of children living/working on the streets is complex. HIV/AIDS has contributed greatly to the problem by placing a significant burden on surviving family members to care for children. While 40% of street children have lost one or both parents, the majority are not orphans but have been sent to the street by a mix of problems including crushing poverty, abuse, no access to education and limited alternatives for meeting their basic needs.
Chisomo strives to offer a safe haven for children living on the street, a place where they can receive shelter, food, clothing and counseling through its programs of prevention, intervention, tracing and reuniting. These services are divided into intervention services (Chisomo Drop-in Shelter and Home) targeting children on the street, and a prevention programme (Chisomo’s Women's Programme) targeting families at risk of having children go to the street.
We'd love for you to come by and spend time with the children at chisomo
