Catch-Up School

Catch-up schools are for children who have been on the streets or out of school for an extended period. We partner with local schools to 'catch-up' children and prepare them to re-enter school full time. We partner with parents and families to reintegrate children back into their families.

Children also have opportunities to play on a soccer team in their community and to attend devotions.

_Here's How We Catch-Up

Family Reunification

We work closely with families so that children who have been on the street can safely return home. Parents are involved in every step of our programs including our staff visiting families at home.

School Reintegration

Children start in a catch-up program where teachers from the school tutor small groups of students. After children have become accustomed to catch-up school, they are reintegrated fully into schools.

Soccer

Kids love soccer. Children are invited to join our soccer trainings as part of the catch-up programs. Soccer gives structure and keeps children busy and off of the streets.

Devotions

Our goal is that every child experiences the love of God. Each catch-up school has devotions after soccer. In Gasogi, we have Sunday morning devotions that kids can attend at a local government building.

School Lunches

It is hard to learn when you are hungry. We provide daily lunches to 45 children in our Gasogi program. (Children at Masori receive lunch from their school.) Children also receive snacks after soccer trainings.

Advocacy

The most important thing we can do is be there for kids and families in our programs. We assist in educational, medical and legal issues to make sure that families in our programs have the resources they need.
