3. Who else benefits from the work of the Tigers Club Project?
The community served by our programme begins with the street boys themselves and spreads outward to serve a wide number of indirect beneficiaries. These are also an active part of the project and are involved in all stages of project planning, monitoring and evaluation and include
- The families of the children who are resettled or fostered, who are given relevant income-generation support; in particular siblings who may otherwise have become the victims of poverty themselves.
- Women, for example the mothers and foster mamas of children to be resettled who will often have born the brunt of financial hardship in the family and suffered due to loss of children
- Elderly people, for example elderly relatives or grandparents who are involved in indirect or even direct care of children or in senior positions within the community and who will be consulted during community visits
- Street girls, who are referred to one of Tigers' many partner organizations for further support
- Children who are behaviourally and emotionally challenged are encouraged to participate in consultations and events like any other child, and individuals with HIV/AIDS will also be directly involved, both through direct support and through consultation, as many of the direct and indirect beneficiaries of the project either suffer from the condition or have lost relatives to HIV/AIDS.
- Former street children, who are part of the Junior Management Team who are involved with designing resettlement solutions, planning, monitoring and evaluation of the project and who gain further skills through helping with the general running of the programme
- The local communities who benefit from a reduction in street crime and who, through meetings with the project staff and through their own growing understanding of the problems which led to children running to the streets, can take action in the community to prevent children from leaving home
- The Ugandan government, whose work to fight the street children phenomenon is supported.
