RETRAK

Retrak helps street children to find long-term alternatives to life on the streets. Retrak recognises their vulnerability and disadvantage due to heath issues, particularly HIV/Aids, lack of education and opportunity to develop as children. It seeks to reunite children with their families and, if not possible seeking foster families where they will find love, security and support

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There is only 1 trustee
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end
Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

It will support them to exit the perils of street life and return to their families. Once children have returned home, the project will support their families and communities to develop support groups to help them protect their children and prevent them from having to leave again. It will also prevent other children from leaving by helping families earn enough money to send their children to school and help them live in safety and thrive within their communities.

Many thousands more are in fragile families and in danger of turning to a precarious street existence. This proposal will continue to build on earlier Comic Relief funded work and apply tried and tested methods to support children in moving away from the street back into nurturing families and safer communities. In addition the proposal will help to build stronger families and communities in known hotspot areas to prevent children from leaving home for a life on the street risking their safety and health. Parallel to this two pronged approach the project will also work with local authorities supporting and when appropriate pressuring them to better coordinate their own efforts to protect these vulnerable children and their families with the aim to sustain the impact of this work.
