About Us
Kidssafe started as a response to aspects that lead kids into lacking of opportunity to enjoy their basic rights and human needs which results into many of them opting to seek shelter in streets as a way of coping with stressed situation. In order to cope with life in streets , they have to abide to the “law of the jungle”, and they engage in deviance behaviors and other social and health risks such as both physical, emotional and sexual and drug and substances.
They eventually put themselves into the risks of contracting STD or HIV and eventually AIDS, those who survive become unproductive to themselves and the national at large.
Kidsafe was registered in 2006 with the name ”kids safe” in order to reflect the mission and vision of the organization.
