Reintegrate Street-Connected Children in Kitale

Evidently the journey towards re integration is a difficulty one often with rough rides along the way because of the complexities around the whole process.

Children who are victims of physical abuse from parents or close relatives loose an attachment bond with them taking them home again to face the same abusers is a tough ride. And that is what CRK Child Care workers must do to ensure a child settles comfortably with the family.

In this season one of the difficulty cases that is still in process involves John* who is 10 years old. John was abused and his hands cut, the issues behind such abuses are often poverty related and parental frustrations. On the first visit our staff were met with coldness and resistance but thanks to the Family Therapy Training that they have undergone currently there is a rapport and the family is settled and handling the matter, but this takes time and often the gains made could be lost but we have always remained steadfast and committed.

We have continued to carry on the activities arround the process and this involves doing outreach on the streets meeting new children, rescuing them that are willing and prepare them for reintergration spending time with children and understanding their issues, making contacts with thier families. Its often a cumbersome process but we are up beat.

Thanks again for believing in our cause and support.
