After Care

The Junior Resource Centre provides children with a safe environment after school. The programme is aimed at preventing children from drifting into gangs, becoming streetwise and/or becoming involved in other anti-social activities.

Approximately 60 children attend the Centre on a daily basis, where structured programmes and activities are offered to stimulate their intellectual, emotional, social and physical development. Activities at the centre include life skills courses, training, supervision/guidance in completing educational homework/projects, workshops and talks with other service providers.

The Centre:

• Develops young children and youth
• Ensure that children obtain academic results that would later encourage tertiary studies
• Decreases the number of children loitering on the streets
• Prevents children from becoming involved in crime, drug and sexual abuse and gang-related activities.
