LHC Foundation Trust: Catch him before he falls’
Comic Relief awarded a grant of GBP 180,842 to LHC Foundation Trust for work in South Africa, dated 6 March 2019.
Overview
A 2016 study in Durban found that the main reasons children end up on the streets is family conflict and abuse. Young people moving to the city may end up on the streets if they can’t find employment. Many homeless people turn to drugs to cope. LHC Foundation Trust (I Care) helps homeless boys, providing food, medical care, counselling; a 12-week rehabilitation programme; family reunification where possible or housing in one of I Care’s family-style homes (ensuring children attend school); and skills training for older children/young men. Comic Relief funding will enable I Care to provide housing and skills training to young men new to the streets, providing a pathway out of homelessness
