KOS PROJECT |
||||||||
|
Helping “Kids Off the Street” |
||||||||
| KOS – Kids of the Street project is 4 years old to date. Round Table 3 have built and renovated 3 drop in centers around Colombo. | ||||||||
| The philosophy behind KOS is to ensure young children have a place to go where they can get away from the streets. We believe that providing good infrastructure facilities will encourage youngsters off the street. The facilities provided are also instrumental in keeping the children and youth away from the risks of abuse and exploitation in the street environment. | ||||||||
| Above centers provide children with the opportunity to enhance their skills such as Music, Art, and Sport Skills. Also vocational training is provided for children over 14 years in the areas of Handy Craft, Hand loom, Mason and tailoring etc. Apart from the above, these centers will provide informal education which is extremely effective as a form of assistance for their schools. | ||||||||
| The day to day management of the facilities are done by the NCPA. We have worked closely with The National Child Projection Authority (NCPA) in the past . This is a government agency that run and operates the drop in centers/schools. The NCPA depends on organizations such as ours to help develop infrastructure, as their limited funds are used for daily running of these centers.

| Through these drop in centers the NCPA provide children with the counseling facilities. Conduct awareness raising programmes and providing reading facilities etc. | ||||||||
