Youth on the Streets Project

Background

As our country have just come out 10 years rebel war in Sierra Leone, which led to the total distruction of properties and spare of live. The People especially the youths have been abandon and left with out any means of Housing, Educational neither medical facilities. As our organization has recently organized an open forum themed youths on the Street, we therefore deem it fit to tackle the problem of the youth living on the streets. As most of these children’s get their daily survival by doing odd jobs, (egg sweeping street, shops and carrying garages) and the other way the get their living is by doing criminal act like pick pocketing chaining goods to people and many. The most pathetic situation about the street children is that at the end of the day they find them selves sleeping on market and many more.

Justification

After several months of feasibility studies, research, consultation with organization dealing on Youth on streets and organizing an open forum themed youths on the street we can there fore justify that most of these Youths do live on the street doing odd jobs with out any means of education, housing neither medication which leads to high crime rate and high mortality within the communities. With Limited access to Education, Housing and medical facilities is what lead to Young Girl doing Prostitutions for as much as Fifty United State Cents, which is approximately Le 1,500. Living under these conditions in many ways caused the brutal civil war of Sierra Leone and now these youth are still on the streets doing odd jobs and engagin in criminal activities to sustain themselves.
