Suubi

In partnership with Child Restoration Outreach, JENGA is committed to bringing hope (‘suubi’ in Luganda) to street-connected children. Through this collaboration, we help identify vulnerable children living on the streets and connect them to CRO’s residential programme where they receive holistic care that addresses their physical, social, and emotional needs. 

Alongside counseling and life-skills development, JENGA offers small business and vocational training. After children complete the programme, we assist with resettling them back into their communities. Whenever it is safe and possible, family reunification is always the primary goal.   

By walking alongside these children from outreach to reintegration, we are transforming lives and restoring hope. 

When we first met Solomon*, he had spent four long years living on the streets. He and his three siblings were raised by a single mother who struggled to provide for them on her own. Solomon eventually ran away from home and ended up on the streets because of the lack of food and other challenges they faced. 

Solomon joined Suubi when he was 17 years old. He dreamed of becoming a tailor and successfully completed a 6-month vocational course.

  After Solomon graduated from Suubi House, he was resettled back to his home community, where he began his tailoring business. We supported him with a sewing machine and materials to get started, and while he saves his profits, we continue to help with his living costs until he can become fully independent. 

Solomon has proven himself as a determined, hardworking young man, and we know his future is bright!
