Child Welfare:

Due to the wide range of projects, and high level of collaboration between them, it is difficult to split them into areas of work. However, there are  5 main focuses for our work which aim to give back children's rights.

1.       Child Labour.

2.       Healthcare

3.       Education

4.       Protection & Social Services 

At the heart of all the work we support, we desire to:

•  Involve children and communities in developing and running the programmes to make sure we are really meeting their needs.

• Support those children who need it most, and adapt to meet their need, regardless of how difficult their backgrounds or behaviors.

• Use innovation to continually improve upon our services, and make them accessible and enjoyable for children and families.

Eliminating Child Labour:

Globally the majority of child laborers come from the poorer sections of society. Social exclusion and discrimination, a result of poverty, children orphaned by HIV/AIDS, traditional cultures, broken marriage and   gender biases, are important factors that keep children out of school and force them to work instead of attending school.
Ending poverty and increasing access to education are therefore crucial tools in the fight against ending child labour.

Children who work are subsequently subject to abuse, both physically and sexually, from their employers and often work under conditions that are both unhealthy and potentially fatal. This scenario cannot contin

PLCC aims at eliminating child labour & to improve conditions for working children and ensure they can access their basic rights to education and healthcare.  We offer support for their futures, through vocational training, employment opportunities and reunification with their families.

Child labor often represents parents’ carefully thought out rejection of an education system that is usually irrelevant to their child’s future. 

Education:

PLCC runs education projects, for Orphan and street children and young persons (especially girls) in the rural rural areas who find it difficult to access education. 

Our projects provide education for all ages, from early years education to vocational training for youth. We aim to ensure that the education they receive will help them to achieve their goals and dreams of a better future.

Our aim for education activities:

• Access to early years education provided for pre-school children.
• Practical courses and hands on experience, and support to gain employments, through a vocational training center.

• A programme to assist street and working children to return to formal schooling.

•  Support for vocational and apprenticeship training, to street and working children.

• Education is particularly important in early age.  child life success depends on how seriously we involve him or her in early learning.

• We provide complete information about child education; give substantial advice on how to organize learning both at class and at home.

• The guardians will learn how to deal with gifted children, check out special methods and ways of their education. They can assist it with the help of educational software.

•  Follow our tips and make children education easy and interesting pastime. Consider different methods and ways of educating and bringing up vulnerable children.

Children Protection & Social Welfare:

PLCC provides a range of activities for street and working children in Mzumbe and the nearby villages, The organization provides a route for a young person from the street to education, training, and ultimately employment and a home and place in society. This collaborative way of working is very rare and probably unique. It also enables PLCC and other stakeholders to work together on advocacy and networking programmes.

The range of activities will include:

•  Educational support.

•  Basic healthcare.

•  Family and child counseling.

• Sports and recreation.
• Family reintegration and support
• Referrals to other services..

Our aim of service is to;

• Encourage Independence.

• Enabling Choice.

•  Preserving Dignity.

• Celebrating Individuality.

•  Nurturing the Spirit.

PLCC person-centered care model ensures that each person is treated as an individual, their independence is promoted and their dignity is preserved. But care being on hand 24 hours a day does not truly communicate the emphasis of PLCC.

PLCC  is about wellness and quality of life for people. Things that make life difficult are taken away and lots of good things are put back in, will make every day as enjoyable as possible.
