As a result of more than 25 years of war and internal conflict, a large population of children and youth were living in dire conditions. To help re-integrate impoverished youth as full citizens, the programme addressed the needs of street children and disadvantaged youth through the establishment of a ‘House for Youth’ and the provision of basic services, education and vocational training.
