Their age places them as one of the populations at risk of several injustices including child marriage, child labor, sexual exploitation and child neglect among others, with the greatest pinch being on the side of girls
This Programme aims at ensuring children are healthy socially, physically and psychologically, through providing necessary support in terms of mentorship sessions, trainings, counseling and a platform to share their ideas as a way of nurturing them in leadership and self management.
