We always try to reach those children who are the poorest of the poor. And we usually succeed! Mainly because we collect them directly from the street as they wander and beg. Once they come to the Barkot center for open classes, some come regularly, others come from time to time, and still others give up. In order for children to participate, learn and prepare for school, we make breakfast for them, and later also lunch, so that they can continue classes in the afternoon. We give every child a chance. In this new school year, 11 children who were previously on the streets and recently took part in our open classes have already taken advantage of the opportunity given to them, received their kits and started formal school. Open classes are still ongoing to give other children a chance.

The process of rehabilitation of street children is currently being carried out as part of the project “Improving the living conditions of socially excluded children in Awassa through rehabilitation, professional activation of their families and renovation of the center where they live.”Project co-financed within the framework of the Polish development cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland.
