Many conditions have put children at risk of death and also have left them at a risk of poor healthy, malnutrition and impaired mental social and emotional development. Interventions to prevent irreversible disability are for us all to make them grow to full adult capacity.
So many children in our Region do not have the opportunity to go to school and have to work to survive which is child labour; Kids are being abused, exploited or forced to live in appalling conditions that we can barely imagine, they are victims of poverty and exploitation locked in a vicious cycle with little hope for the future.
Kaana Foundation For Outreach Programs’ activities are geared towards the enhancement of well being of the most disadvantaged children in our Region these include:-
Education:
The role of education in child development is so crucial because it not only equips children with skills, but it also offers them an opportunity to get out of misery and absolute poverty. We hence provide education aimed at equipping the disadvantaged children with skills in computer, tailoring, agriculture, and other vital skills which will enable them employ themselves in future.
Most forms of child maltreatment include physical abuse, neglect, or sexual abuse and exploitation. The child who is physically abused often suffers emotionally from inconsistent parenting and fear. The sexually abused child suffers from the lack of affection or supervision which leaves him/her vulnerable to the subtle advances of the perpetrator; and the neglected child becomes anxious or apathetic about a life in which basic needs aren't met. Children abused by domestic violence, poverty, hunger and wars are usually traumatized psychologically. In this case we offer counseling and soothing care so as to provide a safe place and safe relationship which helps a child to grow and develop a trusting relationship with an adult.
