SOCIAL PROGRAM

The lure and expectation of accessing a job in Mukuru's local manufacturing industry draws people from rural areas, yet the living conditions in the slum are deplorable and in a lot of cases, extremely desperate. This program is dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

RUBEN WELFARE FUND

We focus on addressing challenges in education, health, human development, and advocacy. However, recent funding trends prioritize development projects, overlooking crucial welfare needs. To tackle urgent issues faced by marginalized individuals, especially women and abandoned children, the establishment of "The Ruben Welfare Fund" will provide support and address pressing needs in the community.

STOP CHILD EXPLOITATION PROGRAM

This program was started in November 2009 with a goal of eliminating child labour within the Mukuru slum. Since its inception over 350 children have been rescued from child labour. The child labour program creates awareness in the community by mobilizing, educating and sensitizing the community towards working collaboratively to uplift the standards of children.
