Save sunshine shelter kids currently rents a full house (approximately 40kms out of Kampala), which offers care to former street children. Children who reside in the shelter are provided with shelter, food, love, education, and the other necessities of life, as well as programs to re-integrate them into society as the streets expose them to a number of dangerous and addictive behaviors. The Genesis boy's restoration shelter’s purpose is to house rescued boys by rehabilitating them and it’s the Family Home where boys who have no family or resettlement options live with Save Sunshine shelter kids as their permanent guardians.

The children in the shelter are taught how to live under rules and guidelines contrary to their lives on the streets, they eat three meals a day, sleep in a bed safe from harm and have a place to wash and a pit latrine. But more than having their physical needs met, these boys are loved by the people who now look after them, each shelter has a transformed volunteer ‘’young lady’’ from our previous rescue center for the girls, these young ladies were former street children who transitioned and improved, they serve as an example to the rest of children, the boys shelter is under supervision of a male as well to help their spiritual and emotional health which is paramount to us.

The ultimate goal is to prepare them to be valued, contributing citizens in their society. We give a child six months or year to improve and go through the transitional process before taking them to the school so as to get them back into wat society considers appropriate behaviors.The second step is a placement at our shelter where children stay for years/months. The Rehabilitation shelter provides a loving, safe place for the children to stay temporarily as they settle into life away from the streets before returning home to their family. During this rehabilitation process, the children are given and provided with regular counseling, all time check ups as each child has a different need, requires emmotional support,proper feeding,beddings and then join the learning center(educating them) as we continue to learn of his/her story and be able to trace for their families.
