The charitable organisation is also donating relief items to these households whose children will not be able to access the MhEST Resource Center due to a 21-day nationwide lockdown.

Senior Programmes Officer Spencer Bandawe said: “We have advised these street-connected children to stay with their families while giving them comprehensive support during their time away from the Center.

“However, we’re providing temporary 24-hour shelter to some of the street-connected children who are still awaiting re-integration. We believe it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect the vulnerable from this pandemic.”
