Here’s to helping every lost child find their place in the world again❤️

We helped 55 homeless children find their place in the world again. Now they can become heroes of their own stories rather than pawns in the hands of the wrong people. I’m glad we got to them first. We can learn to love anyone, when we know their stories. Area boy signing out

For the boys reconnected with their families, we had to travel for several kilometers to their villages. We will get all of them mobile phones to stay in touch, enrol them in vocational schools and connect them with a mentor within their vicinity so they don’t relapse. This was by far the hardest project we’ve ever had to do, but if it gives us all one more thing to believe in the face of so much hardship in our country, then it can only be worth it in the end.

Day 18. The kids came up to me and pleaded that they didn’t want to sleep in the ghetto again. They now felt out of place. It was time to finally go home. So we partnered with @Childlifeline1 to reconnect them with their families and placed the orphans in shelter homes.

From the 15 year old Daniel who had to drop out of school to pick out plastic bottles from dumpsites, to Funmi a teenage mum who works with Lawma and had her first child at age 14. Daniel hopes to become a doctor and Funmi hopes to start her own Tailoring business someday.

We marched together into the slum where they lived. The community was proud of them. They were proud of themselves ❤️
