Not all of our work begins when a child reaches the street.
Some of the most important work happens before that point.
When our social work team first identified Prince, he was spending time carrying goods at a local market to earn money for his own basic and educational needs.
We initially supported him with school materials. But through continued follow-up with Prince and his family, another barrier became clear, the long distance he had to walk every day to attend school.
So we provided him with a bicycle.
It may seem like a simple intervention, but this is part of the preventative work that sits alongside everything else we do.
Keeping a child engaged in education.
Reducing the pressure to work.
Strengthening the family around them.
Identifying problems before they become crises.
Because supporting vulnerable children isn’t only about being there when things have already fallen apart.
Sometimes it’s about intervening early enough to help prevent that from happening.
