CRO social workers have been working alongside their families and communities, addressing the issues that have led to these children being on the streets. Through support, counselling and Self Help Groups (microfinance groups), these families and communities are now better able to care for these children, and with the help of CRO they are now getting an education. Paying school fees (a requirement of every school in Uganda) is a perennial problem: CRO shoulders the majority of this burden, whilst requiring families (where possible) to take responsibility for school resources, uniform or the school interview fee; encouraging family involvement and investment in the child’s education.
