About the charity

Our Vision:

To see street children realise their potential and discover their worth.

Our Mission Statement:

Through its work Retrak will enable street children in Africa to have a real alternative to life on the street. (Retrak currently has projects in Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya).

Retrak believes that every child is a unique and valuable gift, and that safe family is the preferred environment for a child to grow up and develop. We believe that the community has a vital role to play in the protection and development of the life of its children.

Retrak’s services for street children include:

o Healthcare, refuge, education, employment opportunities and sports.

o Long term care as they rediscover their identity and purpose.

o Foster care placements and/or resettlement to their family/community of origin.

o Supporting the transition into a self sustaining community life.

o A voice that speaks on their behalf.
