Chisomo Children’s Club aims to bring about long term change in the lives of girls and boys aged 14 and under who are living or begging on the streets. It enables the children to have a hope and a future, helping them and their families to escape dependency.

We promotes justice, helping the children to access their rights and understand their responsibilities.

Our programmes are based on the each child's needs and priorities:

• Relationship building: Identifying new-comers on the streets, counselling them, and building close relationships of trust as a basis for all activities.
• Family reintegration: strengthening relationships between children and their families, family counselling, and helping children to return home.
• Education: enabling children to develop their potential through life-skills classes, and by registering and supporting them in government schools.
• Income generation: business counselling and small loans to families for their basic needs; helping children in income generation, training and apprenticeships
• Health: HIV/AIDS awareness, health education, first-aid and helping children use local health services.
• Advocacy: protecting the children from abuse and helping them to access justice; and giving them a voice in laws, practices and decisions which affect their lives.
