WHY WE ADVOCATE
Our Advocacy Program is a dynamic, solution-driven approach designed to create real change by addressing the root causes of community challenges. Rather than dwelling on problems, we focus on finding solutions that benefit the entire community. Through this program, we highlight our ongoing efforts and the challenges we face, while advocating for meaningful interventions at the state and local levels. We leverage various platforms—radio, television, newspapers, and online articles—to raise awareness and provide accurate, data-driven insights into the issues that matter. Our goal is to inspire government involvement and drive solutions that reflect the needs of the communities we serve. At the heart of our advocacy lies the protection and empowerment of children, society’s most vulnerable members.
Our Advocacy Approach
We take a proactive stance in arranging, engaging, and representing community issues to those in authority, tirelessly working for lasting, impactful solutions. Advocacy key Activities Through community outreach, we involve local residents in raising awareness about the plight of street children in Uganda. We encourage active participation in addressing this issue, using various advocacy channels—radio programs, print media, social media, and partnerships with local leaders. As Mother Teresa said, “Don’t wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.” Each individual’s contribution makes a difference.
Women’s Advocacy: Empowering Women spiritually and socially
We reach out to women in various communities through Bible study programs, creating a safe and supportive space where women can connect, find refuge, and grow spiritually. These sessions empower women to overcome their challenges and become strong advocates for their families and communities
Street Children Advocacy: Giving Voice to the Voiceless
Our street children programs focus on understanding, educating, and empowering these children, ensuring they know their rights and encouraging them to speak up. Advocacy plays a crucial role in collecting important information about their struggles and needs. Over the years, we have partnered with numerous individuals and organizations to provide free services, especially to children in juvenile remand homes. We conduct monthly visits to these facilities to offer emotional and physical support. We also host workshops and meetings to engage the community on issues related to child welfare, health, and education.
Police Advocacy: Partnering for Protection
Our work with street children often requires collaboration with state bodies, especially the police and probation officers. Together, we work to trace the families of street children and help relocate them to safer environments. Police involvement in our programs provides vital assistance, particularly during street raids, when children face emotional and physical challenges. Through this partnership, we work toward creating a future where every child can grow up in safety and pursue their dreams.
School Advocacy: Building Brighter Futures
Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and street life. Many of our children are actively involved in school activities and represent their schools with pride. By placing them in quality educational institutions, we give them the tools they need to rewrite their stories, excel academically, and become leaders. We believe that education provides the foundation for a brighter future, and we are committed to ensuring our children have access to the resources they need to thrive.
Street Advocacy: Restoring Lives
On the streets, we listen to the stories of street children and work to restore their dignity. Through organized events and public forums, we give them a platform to share their experiences and advocate for the help they desperately need. By raising public awareness of their struggles, we give a voice to an often-overlooked generation. Through these dialogues, we help open doors to brighter futures and bring much-needed attention to the potential lost when children are left behind.
Workshop Advocacy: Empowering Communities to Protect Children
Our Workshop Advocacy program organizes workshops and seminars focused on critical topics, such as child safety, in response to the rising incidents of abuse, rape, and human trafficking in the communities we serve. These workshops provide a platform for community members, local leaders, and law enforcement to come together, discuss these pressing issues, and identify actionable solutions. By fostering open dialogue and education, we empower communities with the knowledge and tools to safeguard their children from harm. Our workshops also focus on prevention, teaching parents, caregivers, and children about the warning signs of abuse and the steps they can take to protect themselves and others.
