Resettlement/ Re-Integration.

"We resuce, we rehabilitate,we reconcile and finally re-settle children in favourable environments".

   

We believe that every child has the right to a family. Therefore a big part of our work is to get to know the child’s story and work towards resettlement back to the family. Many children leave home due to harsh circumstances at home such as abuse,rejection or because of poverty and the vision of Kampala being the city of opportunities. When they finally get there, they realize street life isn’t as easy as they thought and they have no money to return.

Follow Ups


Children are resettled through the following ways at Save sunshine shelter kids.

Re-intergration


When we resettle a child to his or her biological family / relatives.

Foster Care


When we fail to trace any biological family/relatives of the child,when reconciliation fails or if we think the child may be exposed to abuse.

Indepedent Living


If the youth is 18 years and above without a biological family / relatives. As the main objective of the organization is to reintegrate / reunite children with their families.We carry out periodic follow-up visits to assess the individual’s progress and the family’s economic stability, after examining child`s family stability, the child will cease to be on the save sunshine shelter kids support program that is if their family is found able to support him or her. But if the family is not stable enough to support the child, we continue supporting them this enables children to connect with their relatives again for a happy life and excellence in their studies.

No matter the reason of coming to the streets is, our goal is to help our children and their families to establish a relationship again and in the best cases, be resettled back home. Each child has a contact person who is responsible for the resettlement. During the first year after a resettlement, we follow up through monthly home visits.During the second year, every three months until the resettlement is complete.

Activities Involved:-

FAMILY FINDING/TRACING.

Family tracing allows us to find and learn of the locations/Villages many of the children come from and this takes much time as some parents and gurdians are often in different places and we have to reach out to all of them in order to discover the truth behind the child's reason to join the streets.

RE-UNITING

Where Resettlement is possible, we re-unite the children with their families. With re-uniting comes some respeonsibility of us getting close to know the family and do surprise visits so as to ensure that kids are treated as we are told by their parents.

FINAL RESETTLEMENTS

We always resettle and re-connect children back with their families once we trace of any still existing parents/Guardians and we finalise once we see that the child is safe and welcomed in the family as normal children and we keep in touch with the child.

FOLLOW- UPS

We are always in contact with the families of the resettled children and extend assistance whenever they need it so as to help keep the children at home.
