RESTORATION OF SELF-ESTEEM

Pavement Project trains workers and equips their organisations with the counselling resource Green Bag. We work in partnership with churches and organisations that serve vulnerable children who have suffered trauma and abuse, and who live in some of the most dangerous cities in the world. This includes, for example, children living on the streets, in shelters, or foster care; children with HIV/AIDS; children involved in armed groups; adolescents in conflict with the law; and children living in violent communities.

Our challenge is to bring the Word of God to at-risk children, in a culturally relevant and appropriate way, so that their lives are changed through an encounter with Jesus.

Millions of children and adolescents in the world suffer from depression, bullying, abuse, and mistreatment. Such situations occur in all classes of society and in all cultures. Pavement Project acts to protect the vulnerable through workshops for educators, as well as relevant and practical content to promote a safe environment for children and teenagers. Whether in social interaction or in their home.

Information is an important step towards taking full care of children and adolescents at risk. Knowing their rights is a duty for every individual. As Christian organisations our responsibility goes beyond the walls of our rooms, it must reach public policies, making them known and respected. To do so, we act as a network, in partnership with institutions that mobilize, propagate, and supervise actions on behalf of the vulnerable, aware of our Christian responsibility to care for the little ones.
