Every moment a child is off the streets and in the classroom is another moment for the Future of Africa.
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.
Staff and volunteers recently underwent a professional development workshop where we’ve learned to respond with more compassion, understand trauma better, and support each youth in a way that helps them truly thrive.
