I am now back from spending almost two months in Uganda. It’s been such an inspiring trip – meeting old and new members of the S.A.L.V.E. International family. It feels even more special after being kept apart by COVID restrictions for so long. A special shout out to Alfred Ochaya for his brilliant and resilient leadership.
The work we do to support street connected children isn’t easy. The incredible team I’m privileged to work alongside humble me with their dedication and passion to see as many children as possible safe at home again – no matter how complex the case.
So I’m coming back to the UK more determined than ever – the children on the streets are getting younger and often more hidden to try to avoid the abuse they face – so it will need as many people as possible to join hands with us to help to ensure that no child has to call the streets their home. Thank you for choosing to be one of these people.
March news roundup
Watch us celebrating our 14th birthday in style with plenty of cake and even more singing! Thank you to all of our global family who have supported us into our teenage years. 
Read our latest blog by our permaculture teacher Enock, about how we are trying to have a lasting, positive impact on communities once we resettle a child home. 
Check out the photos from the opening of our Anam Cara Home of Healing for Girls. Now opened, it will provide a safe place for girls who have been living and working on the street to sleep, bathe, receive medical care, counselling and support. Our team will work with these girls to help them overcome the trauma of being on the street with the aim to resettle them to a caring family home. 
Listen to our podcast and hear from a street connected child about the difference that learning permaculture has meant to him and how it is helping children who formerly lived on the streets to be able to settle back home successfully.
