Streethearts

our program - providing a safe house for street kids focusing on the following program areas: 1. habitat/hygiene: kids are able to sleep in a clean, safe environment – with a strong focus on dental hygiene and basic health care (showering/soap/nails and toes clipped/shoes). each child earns items (clothes & shoes) through a chore-based incentive program. 2. faith: church and bible study services are provided for the children. we do not turn children away based on their denominations, although we teach a christian bible-based program. 3. nutrition: provide a meal in the afternoons (to compliment another program, providing a meal in the morning) and two meals on saturday and sunday. 4. sports/recreation: we focus on four sports: soccer, basketball, running, and judo. we try to hold practices, based around times that are most prominent for the children to be in the streets (early evening/night). the exercise is great for the health, provides self-esteem and goal-setting opportunities thro
