There are many
kinds of children on the streets. Some are in various religious
schools and spend time begging on the streets, some are orphaned and
without a home, and some have homes but spend their days living on
the streets. |

The Gidan Bege
staff and volunteers visit the street children and invite them to
Gidan Bege every Thursday for a meal of rice and beans. During these
programs the children are welcomed into a safe place and shown the
love of Christ. |

Children desiring to get off their life on the streets are screened
and if they appear sincere, an attempt is made to contact their
parents and then place them in the Gidan Bege Transition House.
The Transition House provides a Christian
environment for the children to begin learning about what it means
to be a Christian. They are also started in a self-paced
educational program and integrated into the local community and
church life. The goal is to place these children into Christian
homes or reintegrate them into their own homes. |
