Residential Program
The residential program is designed to provide a safe living environment for children rescued from the streets and who are prepared to live and grow in a structured environment with other children and have no other such place to go to. Some of the children in the center are orphans, or children who have run away from home and who for one reason or the other don't feel safe with their families and prefer to remain on the streets rather than return home. While in the SDCRI residential center, they are given access to all the opportunities necessary for their mental, psychosocial, physical and professional development. Information on all programs carried out in this program, can be found below. The residential Program works with Children and Young Adults.
Non-residential Program
The non-residential program is designed to reach out to children and young adults who do not yet have the motivation or confidence to leave the streets. We have an annual end-of-year party to reach out to this group of children. We also provide access to the same opportunities and activities that are offered to the children in the residential program, although without a commitment to a particular structure. This is in line with the SDG principle of leaving no one behind. EVERY child deserves to have all their rights upheld.
