Dwelling Places (DP)
Dwelling Places has been instrumental in rescuing street children since 2002. It is a Ugandan organisation serving Uganda. Their ground-breaking and innovative strategy in getting kids off the streets and into schools and to a safe place where each child can lay its head, is defined in 4 steps:
- Rescue: We conduct a variety of activities to build relationships with street-connected children and rescue the vulnerable ones, (between 3 and 12years old) for care and protection.
- Rehabilitation: We offer temporary accommodation, food, catch-up education, medical care, counselling, emotional and spiritual nourishment for the child.
- Reconciliation: We conduct family tracing and reconciliation to resolve any issues that caused family separation and ensure that every child is placed in a safe and loving community.
- Reintegration: Successful reconciliation leads to sustainable resettlement including placement in schools and regular follow-ups.
