Mali, 3, used to spend her days with her mum as she collected trash to sell. They live together in a small, one room house with no running water.
Enrolling Mali into a Youth Centre means Mum is now generating more income and finding it easier to make ends meet. Now Mum no longer worries for Mali’s safety.
The four Youth Centres are a part of a larger Sustainability Pilot that will see the management of our Village Hive model transferred to the local community, embedded into local public systems in six villages.
Each Youth Centre will be built in the public schools and operated by the local council, in partnership with CCT, for long-term sustainability.
