Action for Children in Conflict (AfCiC) works to transform the lives of children affected by extreme poverty, hunger, illness, persecution, abuse, & neglect. Our projects focus on helping some of the most vulnerable children & young people in Thika District, Kenya. The children & families we work with come from backgrounds of abject poverty, family breakdown, abandonment, & abuse. They are often forced to live on the streets, working & begging, in conflict with local residents & the police. Many resort to substance abuse as a means of escaping cold & hunger. We believe that these children have the capacity & desire to transform their lives, & AfCiC operates several programmes designed to help them do so:
<p>
Outreach Programmes for Vulnerable Children prevent children from ever going to the street & rehabilitate those who are already there. Some projects include school drop out prevention, child sponsorship, microfinance & business assistance, outreach clinics for street children, & after school children’s clubs.
<p>
A residential Interim Care Centre for street children, carrying out non-formal education, rehabilitation, counselling & family reintegration work.
<p>
Kenyan Children’s Legal Aid Work provides free legal advice to children & their guardians.
<p>
School Feeding programmes feed 1000 vulnerable children daily.
<p>
Holiday clubs Keep 400 vulnerable children away from abuse/exploitation on the streets by providing food & activities during school holidays
