We have a new way for you to support street children at Shelter Yetu: Empower their parents!

You can PREVENT children from returning to street life by giving their parents an opportunity to start a microbusiness and provide for their children.

Ten families are set to start this six-month empowerment program in February. Two other cohorts started last year and already seeing success garnering enough income to pay school fees and provide more meals per day.

WHY? RELAPSE RISK IS REAL. As we rescue children and prepare them to go back home, we see many families struggle to meet basic needs. This often leads to children begging on the streets and dropping out of school, drugs, gangs, and criminal activity.

Children in safe homes with stable incomes are much more likely to thrive!

Each family’s spot in the program program will cost $1,000 and provides this family:

2 weeks intensive group training in microbusiness and savings/loan groups
Seed money for a micro business
Food and school fees support, which tapers off as their businesses grow
6 weeks of follow-up and coaching
4 months of check-ins
An amazing opportunity to rise out of poverty with dignity so their children may NEVER live on the streets.
