The Initiative

Outreach & Rehabilitation program

How we approach the Children in street situations ?

The idea Work with street children is undertaken in stages due to the reality that

as well as factors that push children to the street, there are also factors that pull and attract them to the street and therefore often makes it difficult for them to accept to be in a shelter. In the first stage, outreach to children on the street takes place to initiate a rehabilitation process, subsequently; the children attend day care/reception facilities to continue the process of preliminary rehabilitation. This prepares them for the second stage of agreeing to be accommodated in the shelter where the rehabilitation and education process can continue and such that the children are resocialized and educated to enable them to be reintegrated into society and their families. At all stages of the process,,

Focuses on family integration where the primary goal is for the children to return to their families where possible.

The Goals:

Offering the integrated care for the children. Therapeutic opportunities to engage in creative activities and play

games and sports. Incorporate non-formal education lessons that teach essential life

principles and skills through sports, drama and computer classes. Enable them to be positive and stronger. Achieve social and developmental integration. Activation the Vocational program to help the child to find jobs

after becoming a 18-year-old
