UMOJA STREET CHILD TRUST
Umoja Street Child Trust exists to support, fund and facilitate the work of the Umoja Boys Rescue Centre (UBRC) in Kwale, Kenya. The UBRC in turn exists to rescue, rehabilitate and restore street-living boys in Kenya. As part of these processes we also care for them at every stage, and enable the boys to either access education (by sending them to school) or we provide education on site.
