Every moment a child is off the streets and in the classroom is another moment for the Future of Africa.
From surviving on the streets to studying General Arts in senior high school, Vera’s journey is one of resilience. Once a young girl searching for belonging, she’s now building a future filled with hope and purpose.
In August we hosted our Fresh Start Ceremony and it was one of those days that reminded us why we do this work. We celebrated exciting new beginnings of youth who once spent years on the street without hope and purpose.
We piloted art and music therapy during Wellness Wednesday and now street youth come attend outreach more often, stay engaged, and look forward to finishing projects and learning new dances.
