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.

Our Approach

CRO organizes training workshops for the communities in Mbale, Jinja,Lira and Masaka on a quarterly basis. These workshops are carried out with the purpose to sensitize the communities on child rights, the plight of street children and ways to support them.

The trainings focus mainly on;

  •  Child rights and responsibilities
  •  Women's rights
  •  Good parenting habits and parental responsibilities
  •  Sensitization and prevention of HIV/AIDS/STI and care for people affected and infected with   HIV/AIDS
  •  The role of the community in preventing and caring for street children


Strengthening the income of the families is a key factor in preventing children from coming on the streets. CRO has helped to start many businesses with parents and guardians: Selling food stuffs, charcoal and clothes, to mention a few.
The small businesses have enabled parents and guardians to improve their livelihood and support their children in school.

Let's Celebrate Success
