The role CRO Uganda in restoration of children who are in street connected situations. 

What We're Dealing with

As many as 7,000 children between the ages of 7-17 years, wander on the streets of Mbale, Masaka, Lira and Jinja without care, parental guidance, shelter, and other basic needs of life.

These children have neither access to education nor skills training and are likely to grow up in poverty and constitute societal nuisance. 

CRO is concerned about the dilemma of children in street situation, the early exposure to abuses,the harmful effects of street life and therefore - how they can be provided with a better future.

We strive to contribute towards holistic child development of children in street situations to aid their Transformation into Responsible and Fruitful citizens in society.

Our Approach

YEP2014 2015 

Every year CRO sends one to three students to Norway, and receives two from Norway. These participate in the youth exchange program. The students from Norway work at the centre in the social or education department. They work with CRO staff and they are helpful in re-organizing the children’s profiles, counseling and sports activities as well as strengthening CRO's visibility and Resource Mobilization through the Social Media platforms.
In Norway, the CRO exchange students participate in different activities at the "Hald Centre" and make experiences in the kindergarten. The youth exchange program has been instrumental in causing personal development and lifelong friendships.

Youth at both ends share each countries cultural experience with thier hosts.
