Extreme Challenge: Kilimanjaro team members will visit our projects in Ethiopia before the trek itself, with a stop-off in Addis Ababa. Learn more about some of our programmes in Ethiopia below:

Outreach :

Outreach is at the heart of our work. Our specialist teams go onto the streets, engaging with children and helping them to keep safe. These young people are so incredibly vulnerable to traffickers, and many of them sadly already have horrific stories of exploitation and abuse. Where we possible, we encourage children to attend our Lighthouses our network of short-term assessment and transition centres.

Lighthouse Centres :

Our Lighthouses provide temporary care and support for vulnerable and exploited children, keeping them safe from the dangers of the streets as we work to assess their physical, mental and emotional health and their circumstances. We then work to safely transition them back to their families or to family-based care. Our Lighthouses also offer counselling and are complemented by our Shine Schools, where children receive catch-up education and life skills training.

Prevention :

We run important preventative programmes for families and communities, delivering strong anti-trafficking messages and helping to minimise the number of children forced to live on the street. Recent years have seen an increase in the impact of trafficking and children being drawn into sex work.

Family reintegration :

We work hard to return children home to a safe family environment and support families to prevent children separating from them again. We have built an international reputation on the work we are doing on family reintegration of street children, developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), a training curriculum and toolkit.
