Centre Marembo rehabilitation center, since it’s creation, has been working hard to transform the lives of children and homeless children, young girls who were victims of rape and other types of violence in the home and on the street.
Get reminded of our five key pillars which are Health and wellbeing, Education, Empowerment, Access to Justice and Reintegration.
Within this period, we have been investing in the construction of safe homes to provide our beneficiaries with improved and conducive living conditions. However, our capability with some funds from GlobalGiving enabled us to start but we still struggling with the finishing. Thus we need more support and engagement so that our children can relocate as soon as possible.
Reintegration
Apart from construction of safe homes, we have reintegrated the children. As rehabilitation center where homeless and young girls victims of abuse come for rehabilitation, at the end of the time they are reintegrated with some life skills and education whether academic or vocational trainings to enable them live financially independent and create their own source of income.
The reintegration consisted of family tracing and find fostering families where children without parents and biological family can be adopted and live in the family instead of eternally live in the rehabilitation centers. They are also provided with reintegration kits.
Nineteen girls were reintegrated. Among them, three are teen mothers and have been also helped to start new life after rehabilitation with their respective babies.
As conclusion, we are grateful to all those who contributed to our work of helping vulnerable girls, homeless girls and teen mothers and teen pregnant gilrs victims of abuse. In fact, your contributions were helpful, and we hope to collaboratively keep on working hard to help those in need especially young girls.
